Small Group Calm and Relaxation Programme – Ages 4–8
This 16 week small group programme helps 4–8-year-olds who struggle with emotional regulation, anxiety, or sensory overload. It uses calming movement, breathwork, and body awareness games to support focus, calm, and confidence.
Children with emotional or sensory needs often find it hard to settle, stay regulated, or engage fully in school life. This programme offers immediate calming support during sessions, while building long-term resilience. Over time, pupils develop practical tools they can use throughout the day to feel more grounded and in control.
Activities in this PDF download include; Inner Spirals, Freedom Flights, Positive Body Buttons, The Restful Floor, and Bubble Capture, each supporting calm, postural control, and emotional balance through playful sensory movement.
This programme also includes:
- A 16 week plan across two flexible 8 week blocks
- 12 calming and imaginative movement games
- Visual instructions and minimal setup
- Baseline and follow-up assessment tools
- Goal-setting and pupil reflection pages
- Delivery guide with ideas for group use and sensory strategies
Sessions are just 10–15 minutes, 2–3 times per week, and can be used in nurture groups, sensory breaks, or wider wellbeing provision. No specialist equipment or training is required.
