Watch this when
Feeling frozen stiff? Squeeze tight… then melt. A calm-down game little bodies actually get. 🧊
The exercise is a child-friendly version of tensing and releasing muscles: first squeezing the whole body stiff, then letting each part soften.
A short animated GoNoodle mindfulness video for children, used as a classroom cool-down. It guides children to freeze and tense all their muscles, then slowly release the tension by 'melting', and helps them notice the parts of the body that get tight when they feel stressed, scared or angry.
