Calm-down breathing for the board v0.1.0

In through your nose, out like blowing a bubble. About 50 seconds.

Ready?

If a child is upset, let them step away and tell a grown-up they trust. This is breathing practice for the whole room, not a way to check how anyone is.

One big bubble for the whole room. It grows as everyone breathes in and shrinks as they breathe out. Silent, free, and nothing is recorded.

How to use it

  1. Choose bubble breaths, box breaths or tiny breaths.
  2. Press Start, then send the bubble full screen on the projector.
  3. Breathe in as it grows and out as it shrinks. A calm brain break comes up when it ends.

Ideas for class

  • After recess or lunch, before a test, or when the room is loud.
  • Let a child choose the pattern and lead the room.
  • Follow with a calm brain break from the cards.
  • Use tiny breaths for the youngest class, box breaths for older students.
  • Some children do not like to close their eyes. Let them look at the bubble or at the floor.
