This activity is to be done in silence. Lay them out on tables outside taped down. Have enough felt tip pens for each student.
Students lie in the grass on their backs for fifteen minutes.
Encourage them to let go of any inner dialogue and simply see, feel, hear, and smell. They may want to spend some time examining the grass, plants, and living creatures near the spot they have chosen. When the time is over ask them to write down words about what they experienced. Put them on the papers under an appropriate category. Include sounds, smells, feelings, tastes and tactile sensations.
