Breathe & Stretch on the Beach | Printed Movement Activity | Ages 3+

$15.00

Breathe and Stretch on the Beach is an interactive listening and movement game that helps children build focus, confidence, calmness, and self-awareness through playful stretching and positive self-talk. Designed for ages 3 and up, this engaging resource can be used in the classroom, counseling groups, therapy settings, or at home by teachers, counselors, parents, and caregivers.

After learning the beach-themed poses, a leader calls out poses in any order, encouraging participants to listen carefully, move mindfully, and practice deep breathing, stretching, and relaxation. Children stay engaged while developing important social-emotional and self-regulation skills in a fun, active way.

Participants will:

  • Understand and practice controlled breathing

  • Respect personal space by moving safely without touching others

  • Strengthen self-control using nonverbal communication

  • Improve focus and attention

  • Increase self-awareness

  • Replace negative self-talk with positive self-talk

  • Build joy, strength, gratitude, and confidence

Each pose is paired with empowering affirmations so children can embody positive mindsets as they move. Examples include:

  • Coconut Tree, Eagle, Airplane – I am focused

  • Sports Boat, Charge Your Battery, Flying Fish – I am full of energy

  • Hurricane – I step aside for others

  • Crab – I let my light shine

  • Paddleboard – I am responsible for what I say, think, and do

Breathe and Stretch on the Beach is a joyful way to help children move their bodies, calm their minds, and grow strong from the inside out.
