SEL: HOTDOG Mindfulness Breathing Calming Activity TRACE AND BREATHE

Teach students emotional regulation with the Trace and Breathe technique! This SEL resource helps students focus on their breath and make small finger movements to feel calmer. The Trace and Breathe skill is part of social-emotional learning. When upset, students can use this technique to self-soothe. This set includes a description of the method, a poster to display, a colored copy, and a black and white version. Use during transitions to settle students. Allow individuals to practice mindfulness with designs they relate to. Print pages for a classroom calm-down station. Model the 5 steps: inhale deeply, trace the image, exhale slowly as you trace, pause, and repeat. With cute, colorful choices like animals, foods, vehicles and spring themes, students engage in meaningful mindfulness. Visit the shop to see the full collection!
