A deck of 55 mindfulness games for kids that takes a playful approach to developing attention and focus, and identifying and regulating emotions--by the author of Mindful Games and The Mindful Child.

Playing games is a great way for kids to develop their focusing and attention skills and to become more mindful. This card deck helps parents, caregivers, and teachers cultivate these qualities at home or in a school setting. The games develop what Susan Kaiser Greenland calls the "new A, B, C's" for learning and for a happy and successful life: Attention, Balance, and Compassion. In a playful way, the games introduce kids to breathing practices and techniques for developing focus, concentration, and sensory awareness, and identifying and self-regulating emotions, among other skills. They include "anchor" games that develop concentration; visualization games that encourage kindness and focus; analytical games that cultivate clear thinking; and awareness games that develop all of these qualities and give greater insight into ourselves, others, and relationships. The deck contains 55 5X7 illustrated cards, each devoted to one game or activity, and comes in a sturdy, beautifully designed box.

Mindful Games Activity Cards

55 Fun Ways to Share Mindfulness with Kids and Teens.


Counting Breaths We count breaths to help develop concentration. Just like playing a sport or an instrument, the more we practice, the better we are at concentrating.	Special Star We imagine a special star in the night sky that helps us relax our bodies and quiet our minds.	Three Things in Common When we have a disagreement or misunderstanding with someone (or if they simply get on our nerves), we acknowledge our feelings and think of three things we have in common with that person.	Mindful Waiting While we’re waiting, we choose a nearby object (a potted plant, a coffeepot, a tree) to focus on. We gently gaze at the object to relax and notice what’s happening within and around us. And much more!

Review

“A wonderful, fun, and engaging way to bring mindfulness into a child’s life.”—DANIEL GOLEMAN, AUTHOR OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

“In Mindful Games, Susan Kaiser Greenland offers a highly engaging and easy-to-understand set of activities to use with groups of children. All the games support understanding and empathy - and seem like fun! Susan draws on her own deep understanding of meditation and mindfulness practice, as well as her extensive knowledge of child development and research. Although written for adults working with groups of children, this book is certain to enrich the lives of any reader.”—SHARON SALZBERG, AUTHOR OF LOVING KINDNESS AND REAL HAPPINESS

“The practical benefits of mindfulness are wide-ranging and undeniable. This wonderful book helps bring this transformative practice into the routines of those who will carry it into the future: our children.”— CONGRESSMAN TIM RYAN

Our diverse family (& friends) have LOVED these activities‼️‼️

August 1, 2017

Format: CardsVerified Purchase

I wish I had this game years ago! Our family has loved it, teenagers down to the toddlers! It has been really fun and also assisted our children in developing additional tools for handling their life. The ballon activity was especially useful, not only was it a mindful activity but it also served as a grief tool in assisting our children to process a recent family death on an unexpected level. Such a great game to discover more life tools!

Might Work Well for Classroom Teachers

May 31, 2017

Format: CardsVerified Purchase

For me, Mindful Games is just okay. It is designed for classroom use, not as an activity for me, a grannie, to use with my grandson. There are some hints to be gained, for sure, like the one about making eye contact and assessing each other's mood. Speaking only for myself, I found the tone to be somewhat too contrived. I'm definitely keeping it, both out of respect for the deep attention that was put into its creation, and also because I might become more enlightened some day and appreciate it more. Thanks.

Fantastic activities used for summer camps

July 12, 2018

Format: CardsVerified Purchase

I work around young people as a team building and mental conditioning coach. I lead many experiential learning activities to provide the opportunity of self-awareness of things like focus and control of emotions. I share tools and strategies that help individuals create healthy habits and routines. Practicing mindfulness is a valuable tool. I read your book and it provided a wealth of information. My daughter is currently in graduate school for the study of Communication Disorders - Speech Language Pathologist. She is planning and leading summer camps at her University and she was asking if I had any creative ideas for mindfulness activities that she could use. I found these cards online and ordered them for her. She and her team and professor were so appreciative of the resources. They are using some of the activities in their camp. Thank you for providing valuable resources.

These are great! I use these with my university students to start each class. Most are for younger children and youth, but easily adapted for adults.
