We build a chain of plastic monkeys to demonstrate how to notice thoughts and let them go.

When we plant seeds of confidence, patience, and kindness, those are the qualities that grow. When we plant seeds of doubt, restlessness, and cruelty, those qualities grow instead. What seeds will you plant today?

We usually think of Obi-Wan Kenobi as being cool, calm, and collected, right? A remarkable Jedi Master. But even Obi-Wan Kenobi feels unsteady sometimes. If you don't feel steady – like Obi-Wan is feeling now – mindful awareness can help you feel more grounded.

We develop the life skills Seeing & Reframing when we notice what's the same and what's different about a handful of toy bears.

A delightful adaptation/mash-up of two mindful games — Friendly Wishes and Imaginary Hugs.

Feeling upset or annoyed? Here's a  tip for calming down anytime you feel worked up.

We imagine that everyone is happy, safe, healthy, and living in peace to practice kindness and concentration. 

We sway from side-to-side, while chanting a rhyme, to help us become more aware of our bodies.

We pretend to rock a stuffed animal to sleep on our bellies to relax our bodies and quiet our minds.  

We practice focusing by slowly moving our arms up and down, or back and forth, in sync with each other’s movements. 

We listen closely to the sound of a tone as it fades away to help us relax and focus. 

We watch baking soda settle in a fishbowl to help us understand the connection between what happens in our minds and what happens in our bodies.
