Meditation For Kids

Sit up straight,

Sit up tall!

Criss Cross Applesauce,

And relax above all.


Put your hands on your knees,

Palms UP please!

Touch your thumb to your pointer,

Like you are squeezing green peas.


Close your eyes,

And repeat after me,

“AAAUUUMMM”

And let your worries go free!


Deep breath in,

Then slowly let it all out,

Repeat “AAAUUUMMM”

Quiet, don’t shout.


Deep breath in,

Then let it out again,

Feel calm and cozy

Like a bear in their den.


Release all your tension

Sit up tall

Deep breath in, Relax

Feel your weight fall


Put your hand on your tummy

Feel it poke out

Deep breath in

Feel at ease, No doubt


Slow down your mind

Count “1, 2, 3”

Deep breath in, Relax

Feel free


Practice makes perfect

To help manage stress

Deep breath in, Don’t forget to exhale

And you will progress


When you are done, you will feel great!

Calm and ready in no time,

Practice makes perfect

Just you wait!
