ACTIVITY OF THE DAY
DE-STRESS WITH BALLOONS
MATERIALS NEEDED: One balloon per person
PREPARATION: Gather everyone together and give each person a balloon.
PRESENTATION & DISCUSSION:
• Ask each child to blow the balloon as big as they can and then tie it. If they want they can also create a face on the balloon using a sketch pen.
• Now explain that they are going to shout, rant and scream at the balloon, talk in gibberish about all the nonsense that is stored up inside. Then take the balloon and burst it. This is letting out with it pop all the built up stress in us and we feel free. While they are getting out all the negativity, they can be standing in separate corners in order to lessen the feelings of self consciousness.
ACTIVITY OF THE DAY
DE-STRESS WITH BALLOONS
DISCUSSION:
If we keep adding on more stress, eventually it will break our system. Burst the stress and be free from worry and any thoughts, get it out of your system and you will be instantly lighter and more clear. After that let them talk about how they felt and what was their experience. Lots of noise is stored in our mind and this helps us let it out.
What was your feeling inside your stomach?
