The 10-part Check In

The 10-Part Check In is a quick yet effective mindful meditation, and can be used anywhere at any time once young people are familiar with doing it. This script is a great starting point, but it can be changed to make it personalised and owned by children as well. They can just have a 5-part check in or build up to a 15-part check in adding some movements and other activities. The main aim it to bring the attention to our thoughts and our senses.

This activity along with a number of other activities have been created as part of Developing Matters CIC course and session delivery to young people to help with their mental health and wellbeing. Each activity is designed to have an information/example sheet, then a second page to complete the activity.
Our activities have been completed with 1000s of children and their families and they are helpful to make children, young people and also adults to live in a more mindful way, to understand themselves better and also to deal with day-to-day life experiences and transitions.
