Materials
Benefits of Mindfulness handout (provided below and also in Student Version)
(Optional) Props box - simple, generic props such as hats, scarves, sunglasses, clipboards, or a “microphone”
(Optional) Filming devices - tablets or phones for groups choosing to record videos
Other Options
Depending on how involved you want the activity to be, students can perform quick, simple skits or create more elaborate filmed versions with props.
Print and distribute the Benefits of Mindfulness handout for each group to use as a reference.
Preview a few short commercials or infomercials to model tone, pacing, and structure.
Instead of an infomercial, students could adapt a different format - such as a magic show, job interview, or news report - to creatively present the benefits of mindfulness.
