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!
