When you give a Do Now worksheet for a mindfulness lesson, you’ll be giving your students a physical reminder to slow down and breathe deeply. As you teach your students how to slow down and breathe deeply, they’ll have a tangible reminder to take a deep breath each time they feel stressed or anxious.
You can also find several resources that will help you teach the benefits of mindfulness. For example, Read Brightly has a list of books for young learners that promote mindfulness. This list includes books for children that are particularly age-appropriate. Mindfulness) books are a great way to help your students build their own mindful skills.
Mindfulness is a wonderful tool to help students cope with stress and anxiety. In a classroom setting, this activity may help kids deal with their anxiety, reduce their stress, and develop stronger SEL skills. Kids can even do the activity alone, while their parents or teachers are not aware of it.
