Provide your child(ren) a mat, a hula hoop, or a towel to indicate the space they need to stay in.  Give the students instructions for slow relaxed movements to help them focus on their body in space.  This activity can help them calm down and be ready for more challenging tasks. Talk to your child(ren) about the benefits of relaxing and being calm. 

Discuss changes children can identify after they have participated in a rigorous physical activity.  As you prepare to go outside, ask children to locate and place their hands over their hearts to feel the heartbeats in a rested state, notice the color in the faces, and think about how their legs and arms feel.
