Greet the student warmly. Explain that today they will learn a new way to calm their body when feeling worried or upset. Point to the title slide and set a positive tone.

Briefly walk through the plan. Emphasize that each step builds on the last, and they’ll get to play a fun bubble game at the end.

Define deep breathing in simple terms. Use calm, reassuring voice. Ask if they’ve tried taking slow breaths when upset.

Demonstrate placing your hand on your belly. Count aloud: 1-2-3-4 inhale, then exhale 1-2-3-4. Invite the student to join.

Show the Breathing Awareness Cards. Hold up the “Inhale” card, then the “Exhale” card. Let the student follow the cards’ prompts.

Hand the student their worksheet. Guide them through tracing the breath shapes and counting aloud. Provide praise.

Explain the bubble activity. If using a wand, demonstrate first: inhale deep, then exhale slowly to blow bubbles. Encourage gentle, slow exhale.

Use open questions. Give the student time to share. Reinforce that they did great and can use this anytime they feel anxious.

Praise the student’s effort. Preview Session 2: “Next time, we’ll learn a fun mindfulness activity.” Dismiss with positivity.
