Hello, friends! Today, we are going to learn a fun way to relax. It’s called Bee Breathing, and it’s a special way to breathe that helps us feel calm and happy.
First, find a comfy spot to sit. You can sit on the floor with your legs crossed, just like when we sit criss-cross applesauce. Are you ready? Let’s begin!
Take your fingertips and gently press them over your earlobes. This will cover your ears a little bit, just like when you want to hear the ocean in a seashell.
Now, close your eyes softly. Imagine you are a little bee resting on a flower.
Take a deep breath in through your nose. As you breathe out, make a gentle buzzing sound, like a bee going “bzzz.” Keep buzzing until you have no more air left to breathe out.
Open your eyes and take another deep breath. Close your eyes again and make the buzzing sound. Do this at least five times. Each time you buzz, feel how nice and calm you become.
When you’re done, open your eyes and give yourself a big smile. Doesn’t it feel wonderful? You did a great job! Bee Breathing is a fun way to feel relaxed and happy anytime you want.
Remember, you can do Bee Breathing whenever you need a little break or want to feel calm. It’s like a magic trick to help you feel good inside. Keep practicing, and enjoy the happy buzz!
Bee Breathing Adventure: Go on a nature walk with your family or friends. As you walk, listen for the sounds of real bees or other buzzing insects. When you hear a buzz, stop and practice your Bee Breathing. Imagine you are a bee visiting flowers. How does it feel to buzz along with nature?
Create Your Own Bee Breathing Buddy: Use craft materials like paper, markers, and glue to make a little bee buddy. Give your bee a happy face and wings. Whenever you feel like practicing Bee Breathing, hold your bee buddy and buzz together. Can you teach your bee buddy how to relax with you?
Buzzing Story Time: With a parent or teacher, read a story about bees or watch a short video about them. Afterward, talk about how bees work together and how they might use their buzzing to communicate. How can you use your buzzing to feel calm and happy, just like the bees?
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
“We are going to relax, friends. I am going to teach you breathing techniques. Sit down with your legs crossed and breathe deeply. Press your fingertips softly over your earlobes, covering your ears. Close your eyes and, at the same time, let out a sound until you exhale completely. Keep your eyes closed, then breathe again and repeat at least five times. You will see what a nice feeling it is when you finish. Smile and enjoy the experience!”
