Breathing exercises

We have created 4, effective breathing exercises for your class to learn.
The High Five Breathing and the Body Breathing can be completed with or without the instruction card. The Bumblebee Breathing and the Windmill Breathing will need either the instruction card or a windmill prop to complete the exercise. It’s important to mention the word ‘breathing’ in the title of each breathing exercise to make it explicit to the children what we want them to do.

These are most effective when modelled to the class alongside the emotions you might feel when needing to use them. Introduce one exercise at a time so that children understand and remember it enough so they can perform it even when in crisis.

The 4 breating exercises:

High Five Breathing
Body Breathing
Bumblebee Breathing
Windmill Breathing

Each download comes with a how-to-use guide and includes FAQs relevant to each resource.

The Regulation Collection

**The entire regulation collection to download:** BUYING THIS BUNDLE SAVES 33% - Resilience cards - Transition arrows - Body mapping cards with recovery map - Entrance check in - FREE Breathing exercises - FREE Emotions fan - FREE Calm corner bunting - FREE List of fiddle tools Self-Regulation is the ability to recognise and manage emotions and resulting behaviors in different settings and activities. Children who learn to self-regulate their emotions can make friends more easily, relate more successfully with peers and adults, cope with disappointment better and are less impulsive. Within the classroom, if a child can self-regulate more effectively they are less likely to show signs of distressed behaviour. We have created this resource collection to help teach self-regulation within your classroom. Across the collection we have used a child friendly font that is suitable for all children and young people within education. In our own classrooms, we teach writing in precursive font, however we knew this inclusion collection would be to support emotional literacy rather than writing, so we stuck to a print font to make it more visually accessible for everyone. Some of these resources have been in the making for over 2 years! Olivia started creating these resources when working down south in her Year 2 class. She started sharing pictures of her hand drawn regulation resources on her Instagram account back in 2019! Since then, the resources have been adapted as more research came out and as her professional development grew. Now with Lisa, the resources have been made to a higher, digital quality making them more accessible for teachers to print for the whole class, particular children, send home to parents, give copies to 1:1 teachers, etc. Each download comes with a how-to-use guide and includes FAQs relevant to each resource.
