Mindful Games: Sharing Mindfulness and Meditation with Children, Teens, and Families

This book contains a variety of useful games and activities that encourage mindfulness and focus. I've used several of these techniques in the past, so I was happy to see them described in this book. I also discovered many new activities that I can use with students of all ages. I've been teaching meditation and mind-body fitness for almost 20 years, nine of those years in a college setting. I was delighted to find this resource, as I can adapt many of the activities for both college students and seniors, the two populations I teach most often. I highly recommend this book.

this is a GREAT book with lots of ideas for using various activities with students and children... Add a little "Editing" and you can make these activities fit into almost any classroom or group work situation, or, simply, use them with your family .... As a Mindfulness Educator, I've been finding this book to be very helpful and a great addition to our "Mindful Library" at work...

Lots of good ideas. I like the inclusion of the rationale behind the exercises. Recently used a few with my client base and got good results. Good for de-stressing and relaxing. I used the awareness meter before and after doing two of the activities back to back which helped the clients see the changes for them. There is an activity about imagining getting hugs and another about sending good wishes to difficult people and I plan on using them together in that order. I think a lot of the activities can be put together that way for deepening the experience. 4.5 stars because the age range isn't always big enough and there could be more adaptations suggested.

I teach mindfulness class to kids and teens and have used the concepts and games from this book frequently and with great success. Thank you SKG!!!

This book is well-laid out, easy to read, and quick to pick up/put down between learning the games. I first checked it out at the library and decided my family needed to have this book on hand for daily practice.

Geared towards classroom use. I was lookig for something I could use for my 13yo at yhe end of the day. Probably better for younger children anout 6 - 10.

This books us FULL of great information. There are so many excellent ways to explain mindfulness to kids through games and age appropriate visualizations. Highly recommend!

Loved learning the why behind the practices in addition to the great games! Highly recommended!

Guía práctica para enseñar a los niños a través del juego a estar presentes

Lo he comprado para realizar las actividades con mi hija pequeña de 6 años. Y nos ha gustado. Además practicamos el inglés jugando. Me gusta porque además de ofrecer actividades, te da consejos para sacarle más partido a la práctica.

Good book. Very useful exercises that I have started to use with pupils. In a hyper active world helping young people chill for a moment before getting on task is essential. Thanks. Delivered promptly.

Awesome game ideas!! So extremely useful and user friendly!! Love it

This is a wonderful book :) !!!
