These prompts can provide students as an opportunity to journal, reflect, explore and identify with their inner self.

These prompt activities can be expanded upon, in the classroom, with reflection and discussion allowing students to share their responses with the classroom.

Becoming More Mindful

Why Journal?

Facing Your Fears

Guided Meditation is an excellent activity to work into classroom schedules. Once established, meditation can help students both in the academic setting and within their personal life. Academically, I have found guided meditation to be helpful in the following way:

• Focus a class at the start of a period during disruptive schedules.
• Calm test anxiety prior to taking assessments.
• Develop classroom growth mindsets.
• Strengthen student creativity.
• Build student awareness of mindful activity.

It is highly recommended that teachers spend time self educating and practicing with guided meditation, prior to introducing to students. Below are just a few links to Youtube Guided Meditations. I'm a fan of Tamara Levitt from the Calm App. There is A LOT of these searchable online.
