Camp Wisdom: Keep Fueling Joy…from the Inside! ⛺ From MIZZEN Education
And just like that, in the blink of an eye, we’ve reached our fifth and final week of Camp Mizzen: Fuel Your Joy From The Inside!
From joy-centered programming to special events, we’ve shared quiet, everyday ways you and your young learners can reset, restore, and fuel joy…from the inside. This has included the release of two brand-new collections of K-2 and Grade 3-5 opening and closing activities by kid-grit that help you nurture joy, connection, and emotional wellness. Check out kid-grit founder Julia Gabor’s latest blog to learn even more about the collections!
More than anything else, we’ve focused on the little things—not big, flashy, earth-shattering changes—but small simple moments to pause, reflect, or lead a gentle group reset. In this spirit, we’re rounding out summer camp with Grade 3-5 wind-down activities from kid-grit that offer your students more tools for nurturing calmness, inner strength, and self-confidence.
We hope you enjoy these activities, and draw on them whenever you’re looking to create more space for yourself, your students…and joy.
Joy is often hidden in the little things—a quiet win, a soothing pause, a moment to take a breath.
As we move into Week 4 of Camp Mizzen, we’re focusing on everyday ways to create that kind of space, through gentle, self-reflective practices for educators—and activities that help your young learners feel more grounded, confident, and self-aware.
To recharge your own batteries, head to Mizzen Education CEO Carlos Santini’s blog (below) on nurturing a happier and healthier brain.
For energizing student activities, check out our featured selection of openers from kid-grit—activities that invite young learners to check in with their feelings, get comfortable with group ground-rules, and celebrate what makes them truly unique.
These flexible grade 3-5 activities may be designed as openers or warmups, but if they’re resonating with your group, dive in, explore further, and make them fully your own!
