Question 1

What do the questions on the cards look like? Is someone able to provid me with at least one to get a general idea?

Accepted Answer

There are 2 types of cards. Mastery and Moments. Moments cards require verbal expression such as "Mindfulness, like any skill, takes practice. What is something you are good at that took a while to learn?". Mastery cards help children and teens learn mindfulness techniques such as this card "Keep your eyes open and sit in silence for a few minutes. How did you feel at first? Did you feel any different when you were done?"

Question 2

Can someone give me an idea how the game is played? I appreciate your time!!

Accepted Answer

Hi. Thanks for your question! Mindfulness Matters has a few options for game play, depending on the amount of time you have available. Players can work cooperatively to spell the word "Mindful" while answering questions or independently for longer game play. For children and teens new to Mindfulness strategies, children who need to work on team-building skills, or when facing resistance, we recommend cooperative play. Without knowing which letter each player will get each turn, the element of surprise adds a dose of fun as well :)

Question 3

What kind of questions are on the cards? It would be helpful to have a little more information about the content.

Accepted Answer

Hi! Cards are divided into two groups: Mastery and Moments. Moments cards require verbal expression such as "Mindfulness, like any skill, takes practice. What is something you are good at that took a while to learn?".  Mastery cards help children and teens learn mindfulness techniques such as this card "Keep your eyes open and sit in silence for a few minutes. How did you feel at first? Did you feel any different when you were done?" Hope that helps.

Question 4

Can this be used with developmentally delayed adults or are the topics too child/teen oriented?

Accepted Answer

I definitely think it can be used with adults. There are only 9 cards that specifically say "school", "class", "homework", "kid", or something of that nature. All of the other ones are neutral and could be for kids or adults. The other 9 are easily adaptable by changing a word or two which is what I do if I get the card while playing with my middle school students.
