Using the outdoors as a way to promote a healthy mindset as well as having a brain break from the classroom can have huge benefits on students’ learning and emotional wellbeing. These outdoor mindfulness task cards can be used to give out to students when they are in need of some quiet time or a brain break from the classroom. Each card contains a simple activity that they can complete outside independently with minimal prep.
Each activity is designed to promote a positive mental wellbeing along with a calm mindset ready for work. These cards can also be used very effectively with SEN students that become overwhelmed within the classroom. If safe and appropriate, they can choose a card and spend 5 minutes completing the activity outside before returning to the classroom. This can help them take a minute to calm down and return to a better state of mind.

This is a fun physical education lesson or brain break. The first lesson will take a little more time, however once students know what they are doing it can be done very quickly.
Students will make their own secret code using sticks or chalk where they’ll create symbols to represent different activities. They’ll create a trail of their symbols for their partner to follow. This can be as long or as short as needed.
**Teaching Structure: **
Activity Codes: Students will design symbols for each activity they choose. A code sheet is also provided if you want to skip this step.
Students can now build their trails. To keep it simple, we find creating the trails in a straight line on the playground or field is easiest.
Once the trails are finished they can swap with their partner and complete the trails.

Self Reflection: At the end of or during a lesson the children place their name-tag onto the effortometer depending on how much effort they think they are putting in.
