Lesson Plan

Catch-Match Map

Students will practice a playful animal-inspired stretch sequence to shift from the Yellow (calm) zone to the Green (focused) zone and explain how it affects their feelings.

Young children build body-mind awareness and self-regulation skills by moving mindfully. This lesson teaches a fun routine that helps them notice and adjust their feelings through movement.
