FUN MINDFUL BREATHING FOR KIDS

HOT CHOCOLATE BREATHS

• Purpose: Body awareness, Breath Awareness, Focus and Calm
• Best for: 3+ (no more that 3/4 rounds of breathing for children ages 3 – 7, no more than 18 breath cycles in a day)

1) Introduce: Today we are practicing hot chocolate breaths. We are going to make our very own warm hot chocolates, then enjoy the lovely sweet chocolate smell and cool them down with our breath.

2) Role Play: Can you all imagine that you have your own mugs? Cup your hands and notice your hands pressed together. This is going to be your mug, what colour is your mug? Does it have a pattern or picture on it? Now it’s time to make our very own hot chocolates. Let pour the milk in. Then add the sugar and cocoa. Now lets give it a stir. Who wants squirty cream? Lastly lets add the marshmallows. How many shall we add? Three? Plop! Plop! Plop!

3) Breathe: Now let’s take a take in a big smell through our noses. Yummy! this smells amazing. Then let’s cool them down with our breath. A long, slow blow. Still not quite cool enough. Take another smell. Then another breath out, to cool them down. Can you try on last time by yourself? Brilliant, well done. They are just right!’
