The Crystal Ball Activity is a free, printable mindfulness worksheet designed to help children and teenagers explore their hopes, dreams, and positive future thoughts in a calm and creative way. By imagining what they might see in a magical crystal ball, young people are encouraged to focus on hopeful thinking, emotional resilience, and goal-setting, supporting both their mental health and self-esteem.
