Counselor Stretch Cards

Use these stretch cards during movement breaks to help students relax and get ready for their counseling session. Print and cut apart each card so you can hold up one at a time.

Cards:

1. Reach to the Sky
   Stand tall with feet hip-width apart. Inhale and reach both arms overhead, stretching toward the ceiling. Hold for 3 breaths.
   
   
2. Touch Your Toes
   Exhale and bend at the waist. Try to touch your toes or reach as far down your legs as you can. Hold for 3 breaths.
   
   
3. Side Bends
   Stand with feet hip-width apart. Reach your right arm overhead and lean left, stretching your right side. Switch sides after 3 breaths.
   
   
4. Shoulder Rolls
   Lift shoulders up to your ears. Roll them back and down in a smooth circle 5 times. Reverse direction for 5 more rolls.
   
   
5. Neck Stretches
   Gently drop your right ear to your right shoulder. Hold for 3 breaths. Repeat on left side. Keep shoulders relaxed.
   
   
6. Seated Twist (Optional)
   Sit tall in your chair. Place right hand on the back of the chair, twist torso to the right, and look over your shoulder. Hold for 3 breaths. Repeat on left side.
   
   
7. Deep Belly Breaths
   Place hands on your belly. Inhale deeply for 4 counts, feeling your belly expand. Exhale for 4 counts, feeling it contract. Repeat 3 times.

Freeze Dance – Counselor Theme

Use this quick dance-and-freeze activity to energize students while reinforcing listening skills and self-regulation—just like during a counselor session!

How to Play:

1. Queue up the playlist below and play each song for 30–45 seconds.
2. When the music is playing, students dance freely around their spot or in place.
3. When the music stops, they must “freeze” and hold a calm, relaxed pose (e.g., seated tall, hands in lap, eyes forward).
4. After a few seconds, restart the music and repeat.

Playlist Suggestions:

1. “Happy” – Pharrell Williams
2. “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” – Justin Timberlake
3. “Shake It Off” – Taylor Swift
4. “Best Day of My Life” – American Authors
5. “Roar” – Katy Perry
6. “Brave” – Sara Bareilles

Tips for Success:

• Encourage students to show big, joyful movements when dancing, then model a calm freeze pose.
• Emphasize listening: freeze immediately when the music stops, just like following counselor cues.
• Use transitions: after a freeze, ask a quick question (“How did you feel when you froze?”) before dancing again.
• Repeat 3–4 songs based on class energy and time.
