Happy Star Wars Day! So many kids are over all of Jupiter's moons at the thought of celebrating today so why not meet them where they are! Help them practice slowing down, breathing deep, and improving their ability to focus with a bit of Star Wars fun!

Have your kids write gratitudes on strips of paper (approximately 1 x 8.5 inches long) then staple/glue/tape them together to create a long paper chain.
Each kid can build their own chain or you can work together as a group/class/grade/school/family to see just how many things you have to be grateful for!
This is a great activity to remind us just how much we have to show gratitude for this holiday season!
Another variation of this activity is to have your kids write their gratitudes on a piece of paper that then becomes a cube. Click on the link in our bio to learn how to fold them into cubes.
Each gratitude cube can be stacked to build a Tower/Castle/Great Wall of Gratitude!
There are so many fun things you can build with your gratitudes!
Kids will have so much fun expressing gratitude and constructing!
It’s a fun way to combine mindfulness with a little STEM/STEAM!
Spacial games, like tangrams, are great for helping to redirect kids' attention, de-stress, and process their emotions!
Tangrams are great for helping to develop problem-solving and logical thinking skills!
Steps:
1. Pick a puzzle card and place it either multi-colored side up or black side up for a bigger challenge.
2. Move the tangram pieces around to create the same shape as is on the puzzle card. They can check their work on the multi-colored side if using the more challenging blacked-out image.
3. Work for 5 minutes or until they feel calm and ready to focus.
Setup: Click the link in our bio to download the Christmas tangram file. Print and cut out the tangram set and puzzle cards of your choosing. One of the tangram sets is larger and easier to manipulate. The other is smaller making it easy to carry with you and matches the size of the puzzle cards.
Tip: The puzzle cards are designed to print back to back offering choice in the level of difficulty. Laminate the tangram pieces and the puzzle cards to help them last longer and store them together in a small baggie, envelope, or container.
