Breathe with me! Let's take 3 big breaths together with the ball.

We do this one every morning as a class together at morning circle.

Let's breathe with the bell together.

We do this one several times a week together in class before beginning a work time to help us focus.

Watch this video together. Then take turns singing out your emotions to “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” (for instance, “I am feeling really sad/glad/mad”). The next time kids are having big feelings, encourage them to try singing them out. Kids don’t even have to use words to express their feelings. How about banging on a drum, or just singing “la la la” in different ways (angry, sad, excited, and so on)?

In this video, the Count teaches Cookie Monster a calming breathing exercise.
