Witches' Spells
for Calm
Four playful, slightly spooky breathing spells that help children draw, trace and giggle their way to calm. Ready to use in the classroom, a calm corner or at home.
Worm Breath: the Wiggly Worm Spell
Press play and follow the glowing dot. Breathe in as it travels up each hump, and out as it travels down. Lovely on a classroom screen!
Breathe softly through your nose if it's comfy. Never force or hold the breath.
Drawing, rhyme and giggles, all in one breath
Each spell pairs a simple shape with a magical rhyme. The shape sets a gentle pace, so breathing naturally slows down.
