Personal Paradise
Dream up your ultimate oasis.
Welcome, students!
I’m going to need a few volunteers to tell me a place where you go to feel calm. Where is this place located?
You’re going to take a few minutes to dream up your ultimate personal paradise. Maybe it's a cozier version of somewhere you know and love. You might be inspired by a neighbor’s garden or an ultra-snuggly beanbag chair.
It could be a place that’s 100% imaginary. Like a castle that spins around on the rings of Saturn, a warm cave full of spaghetti, or a clump of marshmallow-y clouds. It’s all up to you!
When you’re ready, open your journal and draw a picture of your special spot. [start timer]
Nice work! Now it's time to reflect.
When you think of your personal paradise, what feelings does it give you? Write down those feelings in your journal.
Turn to a classmate and share what you love about your personal paradise.
