10 Animal Breathing Techniques – KS1/2 Mindful Resource
This fun and engaging pack introduces 10 animal-themed breathing techniques to support emotional regulation, self-awareness, and classroom wellbeing. Designed with young learners in mind, each breathing strategy uses familiar animal movements and qualities to make breathwork accessible, playful, and calming. Children are invited to breathe like a lion, owl, snake, turtle, elephant, bear, whale, horse, bunny, and bee – each with its own simple instructions and illustrated prompts. These techniques can be used individually, in small groups, or as a class to support transitions, settle busy minds, or promote moments of mindful focus.
Ideal for Key Stage 1 and 2, these breathing techniques align with RSE curriculum objectives around emotional regulation and self-care, and help pupils build a toolkit for managing stress, energy, and emotions in everyday school life.
