Mindful Moments: Compulsive Loops

Welcome students and introduce the lesson. Explain that today we will learn about mindfulness and have fun with language through a cool video called 'Neurodiverse Friends - Compulsive Loops'.

What is Mindfulness?

Set the context: introduce mindfulness and why focusing on language is important. This slide is for explaining the basics before watching the video.

Introduce the video and ensure students know to watch carefully for good phrases and mindfulness tips.

Let's Talk About It!

After watching, prompt discussion by asking what they noticed. Use guiding questions to steer conversation towards the video themes.

Mindfulness Exercise

Guide the students in a simple mindfulness exercise. Use this slide to walk them through a deep breathing activity while repeating a phrase from the video.

Reflection & Closure

Conclude the lesson by asking students to reflect on what they learned and share any thoughts. Affirm the value of mindfulness and encourage using new phrases.
