"Shake it off" in the Morning, Count Fruits in the Evening


After all this time being at home, lots of things go through your mind, including feeling stress, anxious, sad or moody. We all feel like that sometimes. These activities can help you deal with those feelings that make you feel not so good. 


Shake it off  (any age) 
What you need: shakers that make noise, upbeat and fun music. 
As you play the upbeat and fun music, use anything which sounds like a shaker to shake to the beat. 
"Our big idea during this time is forgiveness, which means that we will not stay angry when someone does something wrong. We can shake off the anger. Shake your whole boy to show how you would shake it off. Now lets's play some music and use our new shakers to the beat. Lets practice shaking it off to Justin Timberlake Can't stop the feeling. 




It feels good and puts a smile on your face when you move and have fun. Whenever you are angry, focus on doing something fun for a while. When you move and shake, it's hard to stay angry. 

Counting Fruits (any age) 
Count to 10 when they are feeling upset. First, choose a topic (i.e fruit). Next, begin counting: "1 apple, 2 bananas, 3 oranges, 4 plums, 5 watermelon, 6 peach, 7 grapefruit, 8 kiwi, 9 strawberries, 10 coconuts". This helps you to move to your "thinking mode" and makes it easier to get calm.
