Mindfulness Fortune Teller

So many of you downloaded our Friendship Fortune Teller that I felt I had to do one for mindfulness too. Here is our Mindfulness Fortune Teller.

Help pupils explore mindfulness in an engaging and interactive way with this Mindfulness Fortune Teller! Also known as a chatterbox or cootie catcher, this simple paper-folding activity encourages pupils to practise calming techniques, focus on the present moment, and develop self-awareness through fun mindfulness prompts.

Each flap of the fortune teller contains a gentle mindfulness exercise, such as breathing techniques, and grounding techniques.

Pupils can use it independently, with a friend, or in a group setting to help manage emotions, reduce stress, and build resilience.

How It Works

1. Print and fold the fortune teller following the simple instructions included in the download.
2. Choose one of the mindfulness-themed words on the outside flaps.
3. Spell out the word, opening and closing the fortune teller with each letter.
4. Pick a number and count it out, moving the fortune teller again.
5. Choose a final number and reveal a mindfulness prompt to complete.
