Mindfulness Self Care Activities - Student Council Leadership Worksheets

Strengthen the leadership and life skills of mindfulness, self-care, and anxiety prevention in students with these structured yet meaningful and interactive activities!

Make this year a little less about making posters and a little more about the soft skills of presence and self-reflection in this activity 6-pack!

Greatness is practicing the soft skills of self-awareness, reflection, and mindfulness.

Life skills don’t just appear; they have to be taught and practiced! Intertwine these activities as needed into your class, club, or student government group with these plug-and-play, no- or low-prep activities.

This pack has 6 independent 1-hour lessons all focused on the central skills of self-reflection, mindfulness and self-calming skills, and goal setting- perfect for throughout the year!

Each lesson comes with a paired Warm-Up and Main Activity that complement each other to strengthen the lesson’s focus goal, and require no or very simple supplies like markers and glue.

All 6 lessons contain:

• Detailed Lesson Plan with goals, focus skills, anticipated challenges, list of materials needed, step-by-step directions, and debriefing questions
• Warm-Up - a 5-15 minute low-risk activity to
• Main Skill Building Activity - a 30-45 minute central activity focused on practicing a key leadership skill, ranging from fun and competitive to reflective and serious
• Exit Tickets with reflection questions (print & editable Google Doc)
• Handout or worksheet materials to support the warm-up and main activities

These lessons make perfect emergency sub plans to keep on hand!

Tips From My Classroom

One day a week is "Activity Day" in my Leadership classroom where I pick one of the 30 Leadership Skills lessons to complete with my students. I mix and match these lessons throughout first semester wherever they best fit (ex. trusting building the first week, microphone speaking before the first assembly, group norms before their first big group projects).

Then, second semester I hand the responsibility off to my students, who sign up for, plan, and host their own Student-Led Activity Day. This is by far the one aspect of the class they look forward to the most each year and so do I!
