Calm Classroom Scripts 

These techniques work best when practiced on a regular basis, 2-3x per day and as-needed. We recommend practicing first thing in the morning, after lunch, and toward the end of the day.   Each scripted technique lasts about 3 minutes and is easy for youth and adults to lead.

Tips for Leading Calm Classroom Techniques : 

• • Keep your tone soft and soothing, yet natural. 

  • Slow your pacing down. Read at about half your normal speaking pace, but be careful not to read too slow! 

  • Pause and take one full breath in between each line. 

  • Use your breath to create a natural pause. One full breath lasts about 5 seconds. If the script asks you to wait 10-20 seconds, take 3-5 breaths before moving on to the next line. 

  • You may choose to play soft instrumental music or nature sounds while leading the technique. 

  • CALM ON THE SPOT TECHNIQUES These shortened techniques remind us that we can practice Calm Classroom in any moment, anywhere.
