Hey there, little explorer! Are you ready to go on a fun adventure with your body? Sometimes, we get so busy playing and learning that we forget to check in with ourselves. Let’s take a moment to see how our body feels today!
First, find a cozy and quiet spot where you can lie down. Are you comfy? Great! Now, close your eyes gently and stretch your arms and legs out like a starfish. Take a deep breath in and let it out slowly. Let’s begin!
Let’s start with our toes! Wiggle them a little. Can you feel them? Do they feel tickly or warm? How about your heels? Can you feel the floor under them? Say hello to your feet!
Now, let’s move up to our legs. How do they feel? Are they warm like a sunny day or cool like a breeze? Can you feel them resting on the floor? Imagine your legs are like strong tree trunks.
Next stop, our tummy! Take a big breath in and feel your tummy rise like a balloon. Now breathe out and feel it go down. Up and down, nice and slow. Isn’t it fun?
Let’s visit our arms now. Start from your fingers and move up to your elbows and shoulders. How do they feel? Are they cozy and relaxed? Give your fingers a little wiggle and say hi to your arms!
Finally, let’s check our neck and head. How do your eyes feel? What about your nose and lips? Is your hair feeling soft? Imagine your head is a happy balloon floating in the sky.
Now, let’s start moving our fingers and toes slowly. Give your body a nice stretch like a sleepy cat. When you’re ready, open your eyes and smile. You did it!
Wow, you just learned how to relax and feel calm by exploring your body. You can do this anytime you want to feel peaceful and happy. Great job, little explorer!
Body Part Detective: Go on a detective mission to find out how different parts of your body feel in different places. Try lying on a soft carpet, a wooden floor, or outside on the grass. How do your toes feel on each surface? What about your back or your arms? Share your discoveries with a friend or family member!
Breathing Balloon: Make a pretend balloon with your tummy! Lie down and place a small stuffed animal on your belly. As you breathe in, watch the stuffed animal rise, and as you breathe out, watch it fall. Can you make it go up and down slowly? Try counting how many times you can make it rise and fall while staying relaxed.
Feelings and Colors: Imagine each part of your body is a different color based on how it feels. For example, your toes might feel warm and red, while your arms feel cool and blue. Draw a picture of yourself and color in each part with the color that matches how it feels. Share your colorful body map with your class!

Welcome! This is a very easy activity focused on relaxation and paying attention to every part of your body. You’re often so busy playing and doing homework that you forget about yourself. What if you took a moment to observe how your body feels today?
To do this activity, first find a quiet spot to lie down. Are you ready? Now, close your eyes and extend your legs and arms at your sides. Lie down comfortably and breathe calmly.
Now, bring your focus to your feet. Try to concentrate on feeling all the sensations you have there, from the tips of your toes to your ankles. Can you feel all your toes? Do you notice any tingling? Can you feel the floor under your heels?
Now focus on your legs. How do they feel? Are they cold or hot? Can you feel them touching the floor? Focus on every part of your legs: the ankles, the knees, the parts touching the floor, and the parts that aren’t.
Next, focus on your tummy. Take a deep breath and feel how your tummy rises as you breathe in and how it flattens as you breathe out. Up and down, slow and steady.
If any part of your body doesn’t feel comfortable, it’s important to move it. You should feel relaxed.
Now, it’s time to focus on your arms, from the tips of your fingers to your palms, moving up to your elbows and then your shoulders. Feel each one of these parts. Focus closely on every one of them. How do they feel? Does anything hurt? Are they hot or cold? Do you notice a tingling feeling in any of your fingers? Do your arms feel comfortable?
Finally, focus on your neck and keep moving up toward your head. How do your eyes feel? Your lips, nose, and hair? Feel every part of your head. If there’s anything that makes you uncomfortable, try to move to feel better. You should be as comfortable as possible.
Now, start moving your fingers and your toes little by little. Stretch and start moving your body very slowly. Open your eyes when you feel like it.
Awesome! You’ve learned how to relax by focusing on every part of your body. Now you can do that whenever you want. Now that you’re calm, you’ll see that you will be doing things better.
