Mindfulness calendar: daily five minute activities

This is a two-week calendar with daily mindfulness activity suggestions. The simple, short activities encourage children to focus on what’s around them to find a sense of calm.

These simple mindfulness activities are designed to help pupils relax physically and emotionally.

Pupils should be encouraged to do them regularly with the support of an adult, and when confident can independently practice as part of their self care plan.

This resource is designed for:

• children aged 3 and up
• use with individual children, small groups or whole classes

The activities within the calendar will take approximately five minutes and can be done at home or in school.

You can display this poster in your classroom or staff room, and use the accompany guidance for instructions on how to deliver the activities.

You can run these activities whenever you like, for example at the start of lessons, or after playtime, to help ground and relax the children.
