Mindful Games Activity Cards: 55 Fun Ways to Share Mindfulness with Kids and Teens

A deck of 50 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 50 5X7 illustrated cards, each devoted to one game or activity, and comes in a sturdy, beautifully designed box.
