SEL: WATERMELON Mindfulness Breathing Calming Activity

SEL Watermelon Mindfulness Breathing Activity helps students learn calming techniques. The resource includes a poster showing a watermelon with a traceable outline. Students place their finger on the outline, breathe deeply, trace the shape while exhaling slowly, pause, and repeat. This mindful breathing activity teaches focus and self-regulation skills. Use during class transitions when students feel escalated or as part of a calm-down station. The trace-and-breathe technique gives students a portable calming strategy. With repeated practice, they can apply the skill independently. Choose from colorful or black and white designs. Additional food outlines are sold separately in bundles to maintain student interest. This simple yet engaging activity integrates social-emotional learning. It's suitable for whole class, small group, or individual instruction.
