Mindful Minutes for Ages 6 & 7. Learn About Mindfulness Through Story and Play!

In this one time class, students will learn what mindfulness means and what it means to be mindful. Students will also learn how to calm down their "monkey mind." For example, "monkey mind" is when we may have worries, anxiety, and feeling different emotions. I will teach through story and play. 

We will participate in some gentle mindful movement and breathing exercises. The story telling will act as guided mediations that will allow the student to use their imaginations. By using storytelling and play, the students will learn how to discover their own peace in the present moment.
     
At the end of each session, we will share about our experiences. I will provide questions from the storytelling that will allow the students to engage in discussion if they choose to share. I will also share some mindfulness tools during class. No purchase is necessary. They will be included during class and used for teaching purposes. If you're interested in knowing more about the tools I use in class, feel free to send me a message. 

The supplies needed are a yoga mat or a blanket if the student doesn't want to sit in a chair. The mindful movement will be light and gentle. The gentle movement can be done sitting in a chair too. The student may also bring a small stuffed animal. Such as a beanie baby or small squishmallow. At times, we will use them to teach balance and use for present moment awareness.
