The Mindfulness Game is irreplaceable. If you have a family or a group of people who could use interaction and discussion. The box actually comes with a magnetic strip that holds the contents secure so they’re not gonna get lost. Also, the carts themselves are sturdy enough they’ll withhold up to years of use. The games on the cards have clear objectives, directions, and a finishing point that guide the players through active participation.

Interesting, fun and most importantly useful when working on mindfulness

I have used the product for only one week, but the students appear to enjoy doing the tasks on the cards. It works well with students with autism like behaviors. I read the objectives before we begin and define mindfulness. Then a student picks a card and that person is the collaborator for the task. I really enjoy the discussion after the activity is done and discuss what they liked and what was difficult.

The Mindfulness Game is a great game for all age groups! It can be implemented one on one or in a group setting, and it has a variety of exercises (true/false Qs about what mindfulness is and how it helps, visualization prompts, and movement activities). Love this card pack!

I purchased this as an effort to enhance my group therapy sessions. Firstly, the word “game” is a stretch. There are 1/3 of the cards that are true/false cards about mindfulness and not really teaching any skills. The “game” concept is loose and doesn’t follow a realistic logic module. Honestly, I should’ve thought about the stimulation of a “game” of mindfulness. Competing to feel present seems a little anxiety provoking. As I reviewed the cards in preparation for my groups, there are gross misspellings and poor proofreading in the cards and in the “Activity Manual” which makes it even more difficult to promote. Some of the skills are helpful, but require extra instruments. We will see how the group takes it.

Confession: I am a therapist who HATES the word “mindfulness”. I think it is over used and misunderstood and often synonymous with sitting quiet and still. I work primarily with middle schoolers who can’t sit still in a residential setting. THIS IS PERFECT. It is fun and engaging. You move around, you connect with peers, you face challenges. It really makes mindfulness fun without sacrificing the objective. It helps kids understand mindfulness and why we do it and how it helps us and helps our brains. It demystifies mindfulness and dispels those common misconceptions like “you have to sit still and be quiet to be mindful”.I bought these for work but I am considering taking it to game-night with my friends. 🙂

Love the box with magnetic lid closure!!!! Large cards. Such a variety of great ideas in different catagories. True/false, activity, variety of ideas- very nicely put together. When I was playing the game, if a card came up that was really difficult for someone., we skipped and simply moved on with another. Wonderful way to empower while still working on the goal.

I first purchased this seller’s Positive Traits game and was excited to find another product of theirs. I’m glad I bought this one too! I’m a clinical social worker and use this game for both individual therapy and groups with kiddos, teens and adults. Some of the practice cards require a group but can be adapted to work for individual therapy. This is a great tool to get kiddos and teens excited about mindfulness. Some simple materials required. Several parents even purchased a copy to use at home. Highly recommended!

This does have some new approaches to mindfulness. There is a Darth Vadar one that I like. As a “game” it doesn’t really work for just two people. A bigger group would be good. It has a mix of True/False, Visualization, and Mindfulness activities. The students that drew the cards kept getting visualization and T/F which is a small section of the cards so make sure to really shuffle. Maybe even go through and take out some cards in a group. I was able to use some Mindfulness activities during individual sessions.

I am a school counselor and I bought this product to incorporate in both group and individual sessions. The product was intended to be used in a game form but in practice I would read through the activity cards and find the ones that worked with particular clients and pull those. In true game form I think this game would be better suited for older kids. With the K-4 grades I would just find the fun/interesting cards and do a session using the activity card as a guide for mindfulness. I also wish their were more guided mediation cards in the deck – I believe there is only like 4 or 5. I rated this product so highly because good therapy games are hard to come by and I thought this was a very useful tool for teaching mindfulness! Also a great gift idea for a new therapist.
