The Friendly Ferns Resource Hub
Start small, choose what fits, and use these resources to create spaces where every person can participate with dignity.
Welcome to Fern Fort
Friendly Ferns activities turn big ideas—feelings, support, kindness, goals, and belonging—into manageable conversations families can explore together.
Free first-release activities
These private, no-login activities can be completed on screen, talked through together, or printed. Choose one—there is no need to do everything at once.
Feelings check-in
A gentle way for children to identify a feeling, describe what happened, and choose the kind of support that might help.
Personal support plan
Children identify early signs of overwhelm, helpful tools, trusted people, and a safe next step before a difficult moment arrives.
Kindness activity
A practical activity for noticing kind choices, using caring words, including others, and reflecting on how kindness feels.
Challenge planner
A strengths-based planner that helps children name a challenge, break it into smaller steps, ask for support, and celebrate effort.
Goal planner
A flexible goal-setting activity that honors different starting points, different supports, and different paths to success.
Reflection activity
Children connect a Friendly Ferns story—or their own day—to feelings, support, learning, kindness, and personal strengths.
Privacy note: answers entered into these activities are not saved, sent, or shared by XTERMIGATOR Kids.
Optional faith collection
Church schedules, belonging activities, inclusion conversations, and service prompts will live in their own clearly labeled collection so every family can intentionally choose what fits.
