Mindfulness activities can help students gain control over their bodies and emotions. Mindfulness activities can be used in order to refocus a class after an unstructured time period.
Heartbeat Exercise
Tell your kids to jump up and down in place or do jumping jacks for one minute. When they have finished, have them sit down and put a hand over their heart. Instruct them to close their eyes and pay attention only to their heartbeat.
