Body awareness exercise

About this printable

This BODY AWARENESS EXERCISE printable is a great resource to practice becoming aware of our posture and mood. This practice helps build awareness and gives children the choice to change their posture and feel their mood shift. These types of self-regulation tools are easy and fun and help build confidence and better relationships. Imagine the connection in your classroom, or home, with children that get better and better at self-regulating!

Tip: help the child(ren) build vocabulary in English to describe moods and feelings. Do they know the word in their home language(s)?
I encourage you to join the children with these activities and ENJOY!

For a description of a body awareness exercise see “mirroring technique” in this article.

General info

Looking for self-awareness activities for kids? In this shop, you will find self-awareness PDF and ESL worksheets for kids that you can print and use at home or in the classroom. These activities include stress reduction techniques, body awareness activities, self-awareness games for students, and much more! Emotional regulation strategies are incredibly helpful tools to navigate life. For children and adults.

These worksheets and printables are created with EAL and ESL learners in mind. Multilingual learners have different needs, and my goal is to create resources that are more accessible to them. I do this by making it visual and using easier language than resources geared to natives. Many of these will have options or suggestions for using home languages to aid learning. In addition, the yellow text background and the interline between sentences being 2, helps children with dyslexia. Based on research, including this study on background colors and dyslexia.

First, I suggest doing these exercises with the child(ren) in English and their home language(s). Mirror what to do. Then, when they want to do it autonomously, the visuals will make it much easier to recognize the activity and know what to do.

If you have any requests, or ideas to make it even easier and fun for you, please reach out to me and I’ll see what I can do!
