Mindful moment for kindergarten–2nd grade
Use this mindfulness screen after lunch, recess, or anytime your K–2 students need to reset and calm their bodies. The screen guides the class through simple breathing steps with gentle visuals and a noise meter to keep the room quiet.
Children see a calming background, a timer that shows how long to focus, a checklist to follow each step, and a noise meter that helps everyone remember to stay quiet during their mindful moment.

Questions teachers ask
How long should a mindfulness moment last for K–2?
Start with 1–2 minutes. You can add more time as students get used to the routine and can sit quietly longer.
What if students have trouble staying quiet?
Use the noise meter to gently remind them. Praise the class for keeping the room calm and try shorter sessions at first.
Can I change the steps or background?
Yes. You can edit the checklist, instructions, and background to fit your class’s needs or preferences.
