Monkey Chains Introspective Game• Using the Barrel of Monkeys toy- Plastic
barrel of toy monkeys that interlock.• Ask students what distracts them when
practicing mindfulness.• Every time they mention a emotion,
thought, or physical sensation take out a representative monkey and hang it on the chain.
• No one monkey or distraction is more meaningful than any other.
• What do we do with these distractions?• Students call out, “Let them go” and
you drop the monkey chain.

Story Telling• Model Positive Social Qualities
Everyone has their own special star like a shadow. This star is with you and only you all the time, comforting you. Your star can change, if you want it to. Imagine your star in the sky shining on to you. Warming you slowly from head to toe like a soft blanket. It relaxes your whole body so that you can rest and be yourself. Wow it feels great to be me!
