Thinking Hat Detention Reflection Worksheet – Encourage Positive Behaviour Change
This Thinking Hat Detention Reflection Worksheet is an engaging and structured behaviour management tool that helps students reflect on their actions in a calm, constructive way. Instead of simply punishing negative behaviour, this activity guides learners to think critically and creatively about their choices using the Six Thinking Hats approach.
Students explore their behaviour from six different perspectives:
Positives – recognising what went well or was handled appropriately.
Negatives – identifying areas for improvement.
Facts – understanding what actually happened.
Feelings – acknowledging emotions involved in the situation.
Future – planning better choices and actions going forward.
Creative Thinking – considering alternative solutions or viewpoints.
On the reverse side, a thought web activity encourages deeper reflection and personal goal setting, helping students take ownership of their behaviour.
This resource is perfect for detention reflection sessions, restorative practice activities, or as a classroom behaviour support worksheet. It promotes self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and problem-solving skills—without resorting to punitive, repetitive work.
Ideal for:
Classroom behaviour management
Restorative conversations
Social-emotional learning (SEL)
Encouraging positive behaviour change
Help students learn from mistakes and build better habits with this creative, structured reflection tool.
