Hi, I’m Evie - are you ready to boost your mood?
Today we are going to focus on feeling energised with your family.
We’re gonna raise the roof, turn the amps to eleven and get your home shaking to its foundations.
'Cause we’re gonna be rockstars in a band!
So everyone who is there, no matter how many there are of you,
Get on your feet and imagine you're on stage in front of thousands of fans.
Let's get them warmed up!
We're gonna rock from side to side.
Nice, let's add some claps.
Yeah, very good!
Now sometimes we can feel tired and a bit bored and this is when a boost could really help us.
Now let’s get rockin’ baby!
We’re going to start with the guitars.
Can you show me your air guitar?
Nice!
Are you the lead guitarist?
Or are you more of a rhythmic guitarist?
Or are you a bass guitarist?
Electrifying air guitars there!
Well done everyone.
Okay, now it’s time to see your drumming!
Can you can make your drum moves really energetic?
Nice!
Okay, let’s move on to the keyboards!
Can you use your whole body and really hit those notes, from one end of the keyboard to the other?
Cracking keyboard skills everyone!
Hopefully you’re feeling a little less tired now and more energetic!
Well just in case you need a little more of a boost - let's go again,
But this time, pick your favourite part of the band, the one that really made you feel most energised.
Ready to boost?
One, two, three - let's do it.
You were awesome.
We totally rocked!
It’s ok to feel tired and lacking energy.
Sometimes when I feel tired, actually doing something energetic can make me feel better.
And being a rockstar with you today has done just that!
I feel really proud of myself for taking time to boost today.
How do you feel?
Great!
Say after me: “I feel energised!”
Nice and all together. “I feel energised!”
Thank you so much for rockin’ out with me at home.
You helped me to feel full of energy and to do my best today.
I hope you are full of energy too.
Let’s do a rockstar jump to finish up.
Bye!
Turn your living room into a rock concert as CBeebies presenter Evie Pickerill encourages you to assemble an air instrument rock band, where everyone in the household has their own part to play.
Everyone at home is encouraged to act out how different musical instruments are played, from guitarists to keyboardists to drummers.
This video can be used to boost energy levels and help to instil a sense of pride and togetherness for coming together as a family to perform and 'rock out'.
Sometimes we all need a boost to get us going. Being energised helps us to do the things we know we can normally do, and confidence to give new things a go.
Parent / Carer Notes
Families can use this activity when things at home might need a boost of energy. This activity can help boost confidence and motivate everyone in the house. This type of activity can open up possibilities for families to challenge themselves and to focus on completing tasks successfully and feeling positive.
We advise a parent or carer to review the Moodboosters video prior to showing it at home, and consider the activity’s suitability for space, accessibility requirements and how it may be received by the children taking part.
The NHS offers advice for parents and carers around supporting children and young people with their mental health, for more info visit here.
