Mindfulness Matters: The Game That Uses Mindfulness Skills to Improve Coping in Everyday Life

I’m a social worker and am always looking for games to play with the kids I work with that will teach them life lessons and values. This game is great, my kids love to play it and answer the questions or perform the small tasks on the cards. The kids have used the mindfulness skills outside of playing the game as well which is great! High recommend this game!

The game is Great, I played with my 13 year old granddaughter, it was Fun, Informative, Transformative and Exciting. This game is a Blessing to those who play!!! Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to grow...

This is an AMAZING resource for therapists! I work as a therapist with junior and senior high school students and they love it. It helps teach copinng skills and provides thought provoking questions about things my kiddos don't usually think about. This also leads to some very good discussions. It is also a very simple activity. Buy this and use them!

I work with youth from ages 4-20 and they liked this game. It made talking about mindfulness and answering questions about things fun. For the younger ones I read it to them and explained it to their level. It also made them think about their answers and I could see where their mind went and work from there. Recommend.

Great for professional or personal use!

Honestly, I had this for over a year and never reached for it. I gave it to another counselor to see if she might find it more useful.

I got this on a recommendation to help my children grow into the well rounded, respectful, mindful, and amazing adults I know they'll be one day. If we don't start trying to fix things at home, while our children are young and impressionable, then we have failed as parents and as a society. Have them put the video games and phones away and spend real time having real conversations and making real connections. If we want the world and society to change, we have to start with ourselves and our children. Enjoy!

I work with teens and adults in an intensive therapy setting. We have groups all day every day, and the main feedback we get about the groups is that they can feel repetitive after a while. I've used this game during groups a few times now, and have found that even the people who thought mindfulness and DBT were a little dry and hard to connect with are enjoying the levity and applicability that this game offers. I really appreciate that there's a wide spectrum of questions, everything from thought-based to getting the body involved in experiential breathing exercises. The questions are geared toward teens (e.g., lots of questions about school), but adults have had fun too, and can easily substitute "work" for "school" on the questions. People are starting to think about mindfulness, coping, DBT, and other therapeutic interventions in a different way, and have realized they're able to actually apply what we teach them in program. Even after "Mindul" gets spelled, I haven't yet had a group that wanted to stop and do something else! I'm definitely going to make this game a part of my regular rotation.

My youth clients love this game!
