Today is all about slowing down, breathing deeply, and finding moments of calm in our busy lives
🌿 Wednesday | #BeCalm
Sometimes we all need a moment to pause, breathe, and reset. Today is about finding calm in the chaos and learning simple ways to manage big feelings. Whether it’s through breathing, walking, or creative play, these activities are designed to help children and young people feel grounded and in control.
🌟 Wednesday Activities
🧸 Belly Breathing
Lie down and place a soft toy on your belly. Take slow, deep breaths and watch the toy rise and fall. This helps calm your body and mind.
🌈 Rainbow Walk
Head outside and try to spot something in every colour of the rainbow. For an extra challenge, find them in order: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. A mindful way to connect with nature!
🎲 Roll for Calm
Draw six rows on a piece of paper and number them 1 to 6. In each row, write a calming activity (like stretching, breathing, or saying something kind to yourself). Roll a dice and try the activity that matches your number!
🍃 Partner Activity: Tree Art (from Glasgow Science Centre)
This relaxing nature-inspired activity is shared by our friends at Glasgow Science Centre. Take a walk to your local park or green space and collect a few interesting leaves. Back at home:
- Flatten a leaf on a table.
- Place a sheet of paper over it.
- Gently rub a crayon or pencil over the paper to reveal the leaf’s shape and texture.
- Admire your calming, creative masterpiece!
🧠 Fun fact: Leaves have veins too! They carry water and sugar to help the tree grow—just like our own veins carry what we need to stay strong.
