Year 8 Mindfulness Sessions x 3 Mental Health & Wellbeing

This powerpoint is 45 slides of different mindfulness activities that have been developed by myself over 4 years. They are designed for year 8 students for a 1 to 1 1/2 hour session over 3 weeks. (It continues on from the set I have made for Year 7’s and is followed by another set for Year 9’s). Everything is set up for anyone to run this session (you will need to access youtube for some music and a clip but I have included details). The main focus for students is relaxation (breathing and listening) and utilising a distraction technique (happy place). It is also increases self esteem as well as compassion for others. I have also included other mindful activities (mindful craft ideas) which can be accessed by anyone. These sessions can be adapted to suit your own needs but provides many ideas and activities to equip students with tools to improve their own wellbeing.
