Move This World: Ballooning
Age Groups: Big Kids, Little Kids
Skills: breathing, Feelings, mindfulness, Self Regulation, Social Emotional
Let's watch the Move This World video and practice Ballooning. Let's sit up or stand up straight. Let's pretend we're holding a balloon in both hands with our fingers touching and our elbows relaxed.
As we breathe IN, let's pull our hands apart as if our balloon is expanding.
As we breathe OUT, let's empty our lungs and then our stomach and bring our hands back together.
Let's blow up our balloons together three times. How do we feel?
Calm - not feeling angry, nervous, or any other strong emotions
Focus - to pay attention
Lungs - organs in our rib cages that help us breathe
