Mindfulness Monday: Mindful Games

Today’s activity is a student request. I have a student who suggested I set up stations and allow the class to choose from a variety of games. I loved the idea and brought in games such as Uno, Legos, and jigsaw puzzles.

My classes gravitated to Uno and Jenga so most students worked in larger groups with those games. Some students worked independently on puzzles and the Lego set could be divided up so that was a good choice for students who prefer to work in smaller groups.
