Check out this simple mindfulness activity for kids. In social edge, students learn about their mind bubbles and how each thought or feeling that comes up is like a bubble that will eventually POP in their mind. For this activity, children can either blow colored bubbles on white paper or use a straw to place them on white paper! When doing this activity, have children think about each thought that passes by their minds when they blow or place down on their paper. Kids learn to stay in the present with this activity and research shows that mindfulness can help children improve their abilities to pay attention, to calm down when they are upset and to make better decisions.
