Lesson Plan

Breather Blueprint

Guide students through a rapid, 10-minute sensory break routine combining breathing and movement to help them recognize and manage energy levels for improved focus.

Young learners often struggle to self-regulate and stay attentive. This routine offers structured breathing and physical cues to increase body awareness, reduce overstimulation, and foster calmer, more engaged students.
