Free Calm Breathing Cards for the Classroom (Calm Down Corner Printable)

A calm breath children can use on their own, in a calm corner that actually looks calm.

Each card has a soft picture and one simple instruction: smell the flower, blow out the candle, balloon breath, bumblebee breath, snake breath and bubble breath. Teach one a day at morning meeting and by Friday your class has six tools to reach for.

What's inside (5 pages):

• 6 picture breathing cards to cut apart, laminate and keep on a ring
• A "My calm breath" page where children circle their favorite and draw themselves using it
• A short how-to page with tips for teaching the breaths
• US Letter PDF, print and go

The pictures do the talking, so it works for pre-readers, ELL students and SPED classrooms. Grades K to 3.

Want the full set? The Calm Corner Kit has all 12 breathing cards, a feelings chart, calm choice cards, breathing shapes, a visual schedule and five mini lessons.

This supports classroom routines. It is not a substitute for advice from a school counselor or specialist.
