Daily Mindfulness Lessons

18th May 2020

A brand new mindfulness experience to help pre and primary schoolers with their mental health and wellbeing has joined the CBeebies Go Explore app!

Your Mindful Garden

Developed with the help of a mindfulness expert, Your Mindful Garden teaches valuable techniques to help children de-stress and unwind – useful skills both in these tough times and for later in life.

Voiced by actor, writer and comedian Stephen Fry, Your Mindful Garden introduces a range of mindful activities to children in a fun and simple way.

Creating a daily mindful routine

Your Mindful Garden gives children three daily activities to complete, each one addressing a different aspect of mindfulness: focus, creative and calm. After playing they get a reward for their special mindfulness tree, which will then go to sleep ready to wake for the next day’s session.

Focus activities

These activities encourage concentration and, in turn, clear and relax the mind.

Fantastic Fish: Focus on collecting the different coloured scales to decorate the fish. A focus game like this will automatically slow down a child’s breathing, resulting in a calmer feeling, and allow them to be present in the moment, not focusing on any mental chatter.
