Halloween coping skills activities

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
