Movement Meditation: Justice

Children long to make a difference in the world around them. From their earnest commitment to fairness as preschoolers to their persistent questions about right and wrong as elementary kids, they look for ways to uphold justice. Sometimes they even call out adults when they see a social problem that they believe could be fixed with a little more effort on everyone’s part. A child on a mission is hard to deny!

Help children explore being a force for justice with this movement meditation. Invite them to watch and imitate the motions on the video, or watch the video yourself to learn the movements and then use the script (see Related Resources) to guide children in the practice. There’s also a seated version of the meditation provided below for those who would find that format more accessible.
