How to Get the Most Out of This Resource

Beautifully illustrated by one of our artists, the cards can be printed onto thick card for students to use again and again. Download in full colour, low colour or black and white to suit your needs.

Students can also benefit from having their own copy of the mindfulness activity cards stapled into a little booklet. To do this, print two pages per sheet to create a smaller booklet size. You can also provide students with a black-and-white copy of a mindfulness tracker to use for their own personal practice. The little drawings in this version can be coloured in too.

Providing students with their own tracker and booklet of mindfulness activities is a fantastic way to help them turn mindfulness practice into a habit. It can also help them to see the effect on their emotions at times when their mindfulness practice is inconsistent.
