Mindfulness Coloring Pages — Affirmations and Quotes

About this resource

Coloring is already slow, focused and present, so a short message fits it well. These mindfulness coloring pages pair that pause with 20 messages for Grades 2–8, and students notice their breath and thoughts while they work. The set is part of the Self-Management competency. As SEL coloring pages for mindfulness, they double as affirmation coloring pages for a quiet moment.

What students practice

• Staying present in the moment
• Returning to calm after a busy stretch
• Noticing breath and thoughts
• Connecting a message to their own day

What’s inside these mindfulness coloring pages

• 20 mindfulness messages to color: 10 affirmation pages and 10 quote pages, each in portrait and landscape (40 pages)
• The “Mindfulness Check-In” reflection page with 8 questions
• A 12-task mindfulness choice board: Reflect & Write, Draw & Create, Act & Practice, Connect & Share, in portrait and landscape
• Classroom and counseling guides, a printing guide and a list of all 20 mindfulness messages; 56 pages in all

A look inside

• Sample messages: “I return to the moment with love.” “Awareness brings clarity.” “Be where your feet are.”
• The counseling guide suggests a routine: Breathe, Color, Notice, Talk, Plan. One choice board task has students draw a nature scene and label five things they might notice if they sat quietly there.

Grade fit

The pages make an easy transition after lunch or recess, and the counseling routine works as a calm session opener. The set fits Grades 2–8.
