Mindfulness Lesson - Sunscreen
90+ minutes
pack includes: lesson plan, and worksheet. (not included: lyrics for “Sunscreen” by Baz Luhrmann - available online).
I’ve also included a collection of mindfulness exercises for future lessons :)
Learning Objectives:
Students will reflect on how the advice in the song relates to their own lives and future plans.

This lesson plan is designed to help students with anxiety or concerns about their futures relax. The lesson is ostensibly about advice and giving students space to think about education as something that can help them get to where they want, instead of a set of hoops to jump through.
