a. Setting of Standards

Before we start our activity, always remember be respectful, listen, take turns, and

 2. Activity

1 How does exercise help you and your body? How do you feel when you exercise? What
happens to you if you don’t exercise? Have a discussion with your learners about the importance of
exercise. Ask them:

2 Brainstorm about the different ways people exercise

3 Ask learners if they have ever seen a fitness trail. Describe how a fitness trail is like a walk with
different exercises. E.g. An outdoor trail or pathway at any location (like one you would go on for a hike;
but a trail either created or existing in school, other parts of the neighborhood or area).

4 Ask learners to demonstrate the various exercises a person could do outside using just their
bodies and what they might find outside, e.g. a bench, a tree.

5 Divide learners into groups and give them a piece of cardboard. Let each group make a sign for
the trail by drawing an exercise and suggesting the number of times it can be done. (Closer teacher
guidance and supervision is needed here for K-Gr. 2)

6 .Let learners hang the signs in various parts around the garden, playground, outdoor area of
the school to create their fitness trail.

7 Encourage the learners to follow the trail and do the exercises. You may want to have them
exercise in their original groups or in pairs to ensure that learners with special needs are
accommodated.

3. Discussion

*How do you feel about the trail we as a class created?

*What was it like to create the trail with your classmates?

*What was it like to exercise together? How do you feel after doing the exercises?

C. Concluding Activities

Generalization
Offer affirmation to learners for working together and accomplishing such an
important activity for their health, and that the rest of the school community
can enjoy. Ask learners what they learned about themselves. Reiterate how
exercise helps to produce what our bodies need to keep our bodies AND brains
healthy. Exercising not only helps us to stay fit, it helps relieve stress and also
helps us focus in school.
IV. Application

Ask learners to create a fitness trail near their home with their family members, then commit to
a schedule for exercising as a bonding activity.

B. Developmental Activities

1. Presentation

a. Setting of Standards

Before we start our activity, always remember be respectful, listen, take turns, and
avoid judgement
 2. Activity

*The teacher invites learners to breathe gently, relaxing their chest and shoulders as they do so,
and noticing how their stomachs expand when they inhale, and contract as they exhale; they may even
want their learners to check if they are breathing correctly by putting their hands on their bellies to
check ( and then reminding them they can let go of their bellies when the script begins).

*Teacher reads the script in a soothing, soft tone, giving instructions gently and slowly, to
encourage relaxation. Teacher needs to keep her eyes open

SCRIPT

1.Take three breaths, and then if you feel ready, either close your eyes or lower them to
the ground. Take three more breaths, then notice the sounds around you or the thoughts in
your mind.

2. Keep breathing, then begin to let those sounds and thoughts go, passing by like
passing clouds. Then come back to your breathing. Take another three breaths remembering
that if other thoughts come to your mind, you can let them go, like you let the clouds pass by.

3. Now imagine a gentle, soft, beautiful cloud in your favorite color, forming at your
feet. Imagine it relaxing your feet, your toes, the soles of your feet, your heels, your ankles,
feeling good and feeling soft and relaxed.

4. Then imagine the cloud rising towards your calves, and relaxing your calves, then your
knees, and then all the way to your thighs, and then your waist (wait a few seconds before
moving from calves, to knees, thighs and waist.)

5 . Now your lower body feels very relaxed, and you can see the beautiful cloud
wrapped around your waist, helping you feel more and more relaxed.

6.Then the cloud is rising up your hands, elbow, and arms, and your chest and your
shoulders. (Move slowly from each part) Keep breathing.

7.You are now very, very relaxed. Then you feel the cloud rising up to touch your chin,
and then the tips of your ears and relaxing your whole face all the way to the top of your head.

8.And now you are very very relaxed. From the tips of your toes, and the tips of your
fingers, all the way to the top of your head.

9.Now you are surrounded by this beautiful cloud in your favorite color, and it’s soft and
gentle and you are feeling very relaxed.
 10.As you continue to breathe, now let your cloud fly and float around with you in it,
until you come back to the room. And in three breaths, slowly open your eyes.

3. Discussion

Sometimes no discussion is needed here, if the main objective is to calm your class down.

Notes for discussion:

How do you feel?

How does your body feel?

What did you notice about your breath?

What do you think about breathing? How important is it?

C. Concluding Activities

Generalization

Say: sometimes when we are stressed our bodies feel tight, and our breath is short; it comes
only to our chest. One way to relax is to breathe. It helps all our organs function well, and helps us to be
healthy, when we breathe properly, all the way to our stomachs. We may also want to talk about other
emotions and how this affects our breathing patterns (i.e. when we feel angry or scared, our breathing
pattern is short and fast). Breathing deeply is a way for us to regulate our emotions. Shortness of breath
can lead to impulsive actions such as shouting or throwing so breathing can help us preempt this. You
may also want to integrate this into check in activities -- if they’re feeling 8 to 10 in the stress spectrum,
they can do deep breathing as a way to regulate.

most of all in each other as they share stories.
