Kids corner
Three little breathing games to play together. Each one takes about a minute.
For grown-ups: play alongside your child. Keep breaths gentle and easy, with no holding and no big gulps. Stop and breathe normally if anyone feels dizzy or upset, and stop any time they want to.
Balloon belly
Put a hand on your tummy. Breathe in slowly through your nose and feel your balloon fill up. Breathe out gently and let it go down.
Blow out the candles
Smell the birthday cake with a slow breath in, then blow out one candle with a long, gentle breath out, like you are cooling soup.
Starfish hand
Spread one hand like a starfish. Trace up a finger as you breathe in, and down the other side as you breathe out.
