Welcome, everyone! Today we’re taking a break after state testing to relax, reconnect, and build our social skills. Introduce yourself briefly and set a positive, calm tone.

Quickly review the agenda so students know what to expect. Emphasize time limits to keep things moving.

Read each objective aloud and explain why it matters for their wellbeing and classroom community.

Distribute the [Two Truths and a Lie Prompts Sheet](#chill-chat-two-truths). Model one example if needed, then let groups begin.

Hand out the [Reflection Prompt Cards](#chill-chat-reflection-cards). Remind students to listen actively and give positive feedback.

Have students sit comfortably. Test volume before playing the [Guided Breathing Audio](#chill-chat-guided-breathing). Use a timer to guide the practice.

Encourage volunteers to share honestly. Reinforce that these strategies can help anytime they feel stressed.
