SEL: CAT Mindfulness Breathing Calming Activity

Trace and Breathe with Cats Mindfulness Breathing Activity teaches students a calming technique to use when feeling stressed or unfocused. Students trace cute cat images while taking slow, deep breaths to calm their minds and bodies. This social-emotional learning (SEL) resource builds the self-regulation skills students need to achieve their best in school and life. Use it whole-class after recess or assemblies, in small groups for students who need extra support, or individually as a go-to calming activity. This PDF includes descriptive instructions, a calming poster, and black-and-white and colored cat tracing sheets. More animal themes like dogs, elephants, monkeys, sloths, and snakes are also available in the Animal Bundle for variety.
