Halloween counseling activities

Take some time this Halloween to encourage kids to relax and find their inner peaceful pumpkins. I have three easy, fun peaceful pumpkin activities for kids to try, plus free printables to go alongside. These are great for home and the classroom, allowing you to create more of a Serene Halloween than a Scream Halloween vibe!

The goal of this social emotional learning (SEL) craft is to create a fun visual support for your child to use and practice their deep breathing. This is a great hands-on social emotional learning activity that involves fine motor skills, self-regulation, direction following, and creative skills. After the ghost breathing buddy is complete it can be added to your child’s calm down toolkit.

Practice feelings identification and perspective taking with the Creating Fall Feelings Worksheet. The Halloween activity includes images of the feelings sad, bored, happy, worried, and mad. Pick from the feelings and draw them onto pictures of a pumpkin, bat, cat, spider, and ghost. Nice play or art therapy activity for elementary school counseling. Build social skills by sharing your ideas with another person. Fun for fall bulletin board.

Practice the coping skills of mindful breathing with a spooky but cute twist. Ghost and bats. Use finger trace breathing by following the word, "BOO," as you trace your finger around the ghost. Mindful breathing is a helpful self regulation strategy to slow breathing, calm negative thoughts, and to feel more focused. Bring on the coping skills! Nice elementary school activity for Halloween. #mindfulnessactivities #breathwork #peaceful #meditationforbeginners #anxietyrelief #freebies
