There are meditation courses especially designed and run for children. These are taught over the course of a weekend, and are run at the meditation centre in Herefordshire (called Dhamma Dipa), as well as in other sites around the UK.

The courses are separated into 8-12 year old, and 12-18 year old age groups. They are great fun, with 30 minute meditation sessions interspaced with various activities and games. Like all other courses at Dhamma Dipa, they are run entirely on donations. To find out more about Children’s courses and to book a course please visit the relevant section of the Dhamma Dipa website here.

There is also a short film called THE COMPASS showing Children from around the world learning Vipassana meditation in a beautifully shot short documentary; available for you to watch on the Dhamma Films webpage (scroll along the bottom of the image to select the different films).
