Inspire mindfulness and creativity in your classroom with the Create a Guided Meditation project! Perfect for grades 2 and up, this project guides students through planning, writing, and recording their own calming meditation. Combining creative writing, verbal communication, and emotional awareness, this comprehensive resource promotes well-being while developing critical thinking and relaxation skills.
 
What is the project?
Students plan and write a guided meditation: They brainstorm themes, settings, and relaxation techniques, then structure a complete meditation script.
Students integrate breathing and sensory details: They add calming breathing instructions and describe peaceful settings using sensory language (what you see, hear, smell, and feel).
Students record their meditation: Using a device, students practice clear speaking, pacing, and adding optional background sounds.
Students engage in peer review and reflection: They give and receive feedback on their meditations, reflecting on their strengths and areas for improvement.
