Welcome to our special relaxation session! Today, we’re going to learn how to relax our arms, mouth, and tummy. Sometimes, when we have a disagreement with a friend or don’t do well on a test, our muscles can get tight without us even noticing. This can make us feel uncomfortable. But don’t worry! If you learn how to relax when you’re feeling nervous or upset, you’ll feel much better right away.
First, find a quiet spot where you can sit comfortably. Take a deep breath in and watch how your tummy moves. Then, slowly breathe out through your nose.
Let’s imagine you’re a lazy kitten stretching your arms in front of you. Now, stretch them above your head and then behind it. Feel your shoulders stretch. Now, let your arms drop. Great job! Notice how your shoulders feel more relaxed.
Imagine you have a big piece of gum in your mouth. It’s tough to chew! Bite down hard and let your neck muscles help. Now, pause and relax your jaw. Feel how your jaw is more relaxed now.
Picture yourself lying on the grass. Oh no, here comes an elephant! He accidentally steps on your tummy. Don’t move! Tighten your tummy muscles and hold them tight for a moment. Now, relax your tummy. Doesn’t that feel better?
Now, let’s try a fun activity to relax your whole body. Find a quiet place to lie down. Ready? Close your eyes and stretch your arms and legs out to the sides. Breathe calmly.
Think about your feet. Can you feel your toes? Do they tingle? Can you feel the floor under your heels?
Now, think about your legs. Are they warm or cool? Can you feel them touching the floor? Notice every part of your legs, from your ankles to your knees.
Take a deep breath and feel your tummy rise and fall. If anything feels uncomfortable, move a little to feel better.
Focus on your arms, from your fingers to your shoulders. How do they feel? Are they warm or cool? Do your fingers tingle?
Finally, think about your neck and head. How do your eyes, lips, and nose feel? If anything feels uncomfortable, move to feel better.
Now, start wiggling your fingers and toes. Stretch and slowly move your body. Open your eyes when you’re ready.
You’ve learned how to relax by focusing on each part of your body. You can do this anytime you want. Now that you’re calm, you’ll be able to do things even better!

Mindful Nature Walk: Take a short walk outside with a family member or friend. As you walk, pay attention to the sounds you hear, the colors you see, and the smells around you. Try to find three things that make you feel calm and happy. When you return, draw a picture of your favorite thing you noticed on your walk and share why it made you feel relaxed.
Relaxation Jar: Create a “Relaxation Jar” using a small jar, water, glitter, and glue. Fill the jar with water, add a spoonful of glitter, and a few drops of glue. Close the lid tightly and shake the jar. Watch the glitter swirl and settle. As you watch, take deep breaths and imagine your thoughts settling down just like the glitter. Use this jar whenever you need a moment to relax.
Feelings and Muscles: Think about a time when you felt nervous or upset. Which part of your body felt tight? Now, try the relaxation exercises from the lesson, like stretching like a lazy kitten or chewing the giant gum. Notice how your muscles feel afterward. Share with a friend or family member how these exercises helped you feel better.

Welcome to this relaxation session. Today, we’re going to show you how to relax your arms, mouth, and stomach. When you have a disagreement with a friend or don’t perform well in your exams, your muscles can tense up, even if you don’t notice it. This can make you feel uncomfortable. If you learn how to relax when you feel nervous or angry, you’ll be able to manage that tension and feel better right away.
Before we start, find a quiet spot and sit comfortably. Now, breathe in slowly and observe how your tummy moves. Breathe out through your nose little by little.
Let’s start picturing different situations. Imagine you’re a lazy kitten stretching out both your arms in front of you. Now, move them above your head and then behind it. Feel how your shoulders stretch. Now let both your arms drop at the same time. Well done! Feel how your shoulders are now more relaxed than before.
Imagine you have a large piece of gum in your mouth. It’s hard to chew. Give the gum a strong bite and let your neck muscles help you. Now pause for a moment and relax your jaw. Notice how your jaw feels more relaxed.
Now, imagine you’re lying on the grass. Look, there’s an elephant coming your way. He didn’t see you and put his foot on your stomach. Don’t move. Try to tense your stomach muscles and keep them tense for a bit. Now relax your stomach as much as you can. It feels better, doesn’t it?
Our session is over. Did you feel how tense you were before and how you managed to relax your muscles? Now stay still with your eyes open until you feel ready to sit up. If you liked this exercise, feel free to repeat it as many times as you want throughout the day.
Welcome! This is a very easy activity focused on relaxing 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.
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, focus on your arms, from the tips of your fingers to your palms, moving up to your elbows and then your shoulders. Feel each part closely. How do they feel? Does anything hurt? Are they hot or cold? Do you notice any tingling in your fingers? Do your arms feel comfortable?
Finally, focus on your neck and move up toward your head. How do your eyes feel? Your lips, nose, and hair? Feel every part of your head. If there’s anything uncomfortable, try to move to feel better. You should be as comfortable as possible.
Now, start moving your fingers and toes little by little. Stretch and start moving your body very slowly. Open your eyes when you feel ready.
You’ve learned how to relax by focusing on every part of your body. You can do this whenever you want. Now that you’re calm, you’ll see that you’ll be able to do things better.
