Help children slow down, regulate their emotions and reconnect with nature with this simple and engaging Breathing with Nature activity pack.
This resource provides five easy breathing activities that use natural objects such as leaves, stones, sticks and feathersto help children practise calm, controlled breathing outdoors. By focusing on natural materials and gentle movement, children learn how to pause, reset and calm their bodies and minds.
These activities are perfect for quick regulation breaks, transitions between lessons, after playtime, or before focused classroom tasks such as writing or maths. Each activity takes only a few minutes and requires very little preparation, making it easy to incorporate into the school day.
Inside this pack you will find a collection of playful breathing activities that help children:
practise slow, mindful breathing
regulate emotions and energy levels
develop focus and concentration
connect with the natural environment
return to learning feeling calmer and ready to engage
The activities work well in school playgrounds, outdoor learning spaces, woodland areas or gardens, and use materials that children can easily find around them.
Perfect for EYFS, KS1 and KS2, this pack supports children’s wellbeing, self-regulation and mindfulness while keeping the experience playful and rooted in outdoor learning.
