Introduce the project with enthusiasm. Explain that mindfulness is not only about calm, but also about self-expression. Invite students to think about what mindfulness personally means to them as they join in.

Discuss the core idea of mindfulness. Use simple terms that elementary students can grasp. Ask them if they have any experiences when they felt really calm or focused.

Explain the advantages of mindfulness. Encourage some students to think of personal benefits they've experienced or heard about. It's important to emphasize that mindfulness can help with both relaxation and focus.

Lead a short mindfulness exercise by guiding the students through a breathing exercise. Remind them to relax and focus on their breathing, observing how it makes them feel.

Transition to the creativity part. Emphasize that every student's art piece is important and contributes to a shared mural that symbolizes mindfulness as a collective journey.
