Mindfulness Activity/Game - HELP

[x-Silvermist-x]

In a couple of weeks I have to do a mindfulness activity/game for a group of people but I don't know what to do. Do any of you wonderful people have any ideas as to what I could do? The activity/game can last a maximum of 5 mins.

Thanks.

Bu activity, I take it you don't mean sitting around tracking note of your breathing.

My group leader did 'mindfulness of walking' with us, where we had to was around as quickly, then as a slowly as possible taking note of ever tiny movement of our body, where the pressure was and so forth.

I remember lava lamps being part of ours. And there was one session where there was a candle, but that got put a stop to because of health and safety. There was also a really quirky biscuit barrel that we had to observe; that was quite good because the figures on it had facial expressions and it was good practice in observing non-judgmentally.

A raisin was quite good when we did it you get the person to look at the raisin smell it etc and eventually eat it you will never look \at a raisin in the same way again!

Blowing bubbles mindfully - that can be quite fun or playing with play dough.

I think the raisin one or whatever food you decide is a great one although I guess you may have to be careful about calorific content if people are on meal plans where you are. x

Each person takes a random object from a bag and give them a few moments quiet time to observe before they have to mindfully (no judgements) describe the object,
