Project IdeasThese ideas were submitted a few years ago by Jim Parlier. I had intended to create lessons for them, so did not post when I received them. Since I haven't gotten around to the lesson building, I thought I would just present the ideas as is. My apologies for taking so long to get these great ideas on this site.Miniature Zen Garden - Build a miniature Zen Rock Garden. A small box or tray, filled with white, washed sand, and decorated with very small rocks or pieces of gravel - maybe even some blarney stones for the Irish Catholic accent. The sand will be brushed and raked with a toothbrush, leaving circular patterns, upon which to mediate. Herb Garden - One herb that each child grows themselves. Preferably, edible. So they can take it from the garden to the table (dried or otherwise). Oregano, thyme, basil, lemon grass - (stuff like that). Mandala - Draw their own Mandala for posting in the house somewhere. Spelling - learning Buddhist terms. Koans - Write their own koans. Family Meditations - sitting and walking on one of their own koans (as well as classic koans of coarse). Meditation Bell - Bell to ring when going to bed and when awakening. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
