10 Fun and Engaging Confidence Activities for Girls

Simple, Uplifting Ideas to Help Girls Shine from the Inside Out

Raising confident, kind, and fearless girls doesn’t have to be complicated—it can be joyful, playful, and even a little glittery ✨. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or girls’ group leader, finding meaningful ways to build confidence in tween and teen girls is so important right now. The good news? You don’t need a fancy curriculum or hours of prep to make a real impact.

Here are 10 fun, creative, and girl-approved activities that help girls discover their strengths, speak up, and feel proud of who they are. These can be done in small groups, classrooms, workshops—or even around the kitchen table.

💡 Key Takeaways

• Confidence-building can be fun, creative, and easy to weave into everyday moments.

• Activities that involve kindness, reflection, and bravery help girls grow stronger inside and out.

• The goal isn’t perfection—it’s progress, practice, and real connection.

• When girls feel seen, supported, and safe, confidence naturally blooms.

1. Power Pose Party

Channel your inner superhero! Start with a quick convo about how body language can shift how we feel. Then, get everyone standing in their best “power pose”—feet wide, hands on hips, chin up.
📸 Snap pics to celebrate their strength!
🦸‍♀️ Bonus: Play upbeat music and have a mini confidence runway walk!

2. Compliment Circle

Kindness fuels confidence. In a circle, each girl gives a genuine compliment to the person on her right.
🌼 Tip: Start by modeling a compliment that’s not about looks, like “You’re such a thoughtful listener.”

3. My Confidence Collage

Give girls magazines, scissors, glue, and a blank canvas (or journal page). Ask them to create a vision board that represents what makes them feel strong, happy, and brave.
🎨 Creativity meets self-discovery in this beautiful visual activity.

4. The “I Am” Mirror

Pass around a hand mirror and have each girl say one positive “I am” affirmation while looking at herself.
🪞 Real talk: Teaching girls to speak kindly to themselves is powerful.

5. Confidence Charades

Write down empowering scenarios on slips of paper (like “asking a question in class” or “standing up for a friend”). Girls act them out while others guess.
🎭 It’s silly, but sneaky—this helps normalize brave behavior.

6. Fearless Girl Journaling

Hand out notebooks and pose a few thoughtful prompts:

• What’s something brave you did this week?

• What do you love about yourself?

• What’s a goal you’re working on?
  📝 Journaling builds reflection and inner strength.

7. Sticky Note Love Bomb

Each girl writes something kind on a sticky note for every other girl in the room.
💌 Instant mood boost + long-lasting reminders of how loved they are.

8. Confidence Role Models

Ask: Who’s a woman you admire? Talk about what makes her confident and kind.
👩‍🎨 Bonus: Create a gallery wall of their fearless figures!

9. Try It Challenge

Give girls a mini “Try It” card with a small confidence-building challenge:

• Introduce yourself to someone new.

• Raise your hand in class.

• Try a new hobby.
  🌟 Growth happens when we step outside the comfort zone.

10. Confidence Compliment Cards

Create a set of printable cards with affirmations and uplifting messages.
💖 A simple, shareable way to spread confidence like confetti.
