Soothing Cloud Imagery Activity

Introduce the activity and ensure students are seated comfortably. Explain that they will be imagining themselves as calm and gentle clouds. Encourage them to listen and relax.

Imagine Your Cloud

Show a gentle image of a fluffy cloud. Ask the students to picture a soft, floating cloud in their minds. Explain that just like clouds, they can be light and calm.

You Are a Calm Cloud

Wrap up the visualization by inviting the children to share how they felt. Reinforce that they can always use this calm visualization whenever they feel anxious.
