Description

3 FREE EMPOWERING ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN

Download our free sample package of calming exercises for kids.   This social emotional learning resource includes mindfulness and problem solving activities.

In particular, we’ve included the 5-4-3–2-1 Grounding activity.  This poster invites kids to take mindful breaths as they zoom in on 5 things they can see, 4 things they can feel, 3 things they can hear, 2 things they can smell, and 1 thing they can taste.

Next is a visualization exercise called “A Peaceful Place in Nature.”  This activity guides children to imagine or draw a calming and safe place outdoors.  It could be a place you have been to before.  Or perhaps a place you have seen in pictures of.  Such as the mountains, beach, river, lake or park.

Lastly, there’s a poster entitled “Solution-Seeking?”. This free pdf includes prompts that encourage kids to consider different possibilities and resources they can use when faced with a challenge.

The calming exercises for kids featured in this pack are inspired by our larger  Calm Kids Activity Book. Filled with more than 100 interventions that promote self-awareness, mindfulness, emotion regulation, and social emotional learning.  Best of all, it’s a great classroom management tool, too!

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

Whole Hearted School Counselor does it again! Simple, wonderful posters. These are so great to put in classrooms and also have in my room (I’m a school counselor). For independent students they can refer to them, and for students still learning about calming strategies, it’s a great teaching tool that you can leave with the teacher to continue to reinforce and have in their classroom.

I loved this free download. Will be purchasing the while resource. Easy to share with my students. Easy quick sheets for students to take with them. I tell my students to have these posters in their folders or learning areas as reminders of when they can do when feeling uncomfortable about something.
