Two activities to help with Stress Relief for Kids<\/a>.<\/h2>\n

The following activities are designed to be read aloud\u00a0very slowly and clearly. Use a calm, quiet voice and\u00a0pause a few seconds at the end of each sentence. Your\u00a0listeners will need plenty of time to enjoy every step of\u00a0the experience without feeling hurried.<\/p>\n

Be sure to end each activity with some gentle suggestions\u00a0such as, \u201cBegin to stretch like a cat; open your eyes very\u00a0slowly; come back to a sitting position when you feel\u00a0ready.\u201d For the guided imagery activities I recommend a\u00a0warm, carpeted area and low lights.<\/p>\n

I suggest doing all these activities yourself before trying\u00a0them with others.<\/p>\n

These directions serve only as a guide for the reader. You\u00a0may want to change the wording or the length of the\u00a0activity. Use your creativity to expand these images as
\nyou wish.<\/p>\n

You may want to tape record the directions and\/or play\u00a0quiet music in the background.<\/p>\n

Many of these activities can lead very naturally into\u00a0creative writing and art experiences. Encourage group\u00a0discussions and sharing of feelings afterwards.<\/p>\n

Help children learn to direct themselves and each other\u00a0in these activities.<\/p>\n

I sincerely hope that you will enjoy participating in\u00a0these creative relaxation experiences.<\/p>\n
