Heads In, Hearts In: Mindfulness Activities

4-H's mission is to empower youth to reach their full potential, working and learning in partnership with caring adults. One goal to achieve that mission is to connect in-school learning with out-of-school-time opportunities that enhance learning. That's precisely the focus of Heads In, Hearts In: A Delivery Approach to Family Enrichment 4-H Programming. These resources encourage youth and families to use their minds (putting their "heads in") as a tool to expand their knowledge around variety of topic areas. By creating a shared educational experience, youth and their families will work, grow and learn together, putting their "hearts in" to the process.

Heads In, Hearts In: A Delivery Approach to Mindfulness Programming – Mindfulness Activities are designed to help Michigan State University Extension staff members to involve partners in facilitating a family enrichment program around the topic of early childhood education. Mindfulness is the practice of slowing down and paying attention to the present moment. This page includes the full mindfulness activity book containing all 16 mindfulness activities, the staff guide for tips for facilitating a family enrichment event and all 16 mindfulness activities available for download individually.

Heads In, Hearts In Family Enrichment programming is also available in a series of literacy, healthy living, early childhood, science and family engagement activities!
