Peace Out Relaxation And Mindfulness Stories For Kids

I'm excited to share an episode from one of my podcast friends, Dorktales Storytime Podcast! This is the perfect story right now because it's all about going back to school and the worries that might come up during this time.  Enjoy and keep your ears open for a familiar voice! :)  BIG BAD GOES BACK TO SCHOOL Dorktales Podcast: Episode 74 Big Bad Goes Back To School Overcoming New School Year Anxiety A new school year has begun, and Big Bad Wolf is experiencing back-to-school jitters. He’s worried his wolf classmates will continue to make fun of him over his embarrassing incident during last year’s howl-at-the-moon final exam. Enter his Folktale Forest friends, including Serena the Capybara. They talk him through his new class nerves and guide him back to his calm, cool and collected canine self—sending him off with the confidence he needs to become a Master Howler! PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS: As back-to-school season approaches, it’s not uncommon for young minds to be filled with a mixture of

This is it! The final episode of Season 6: Kaala & Chuff's Excellent Adventure. The two friends solved the biggest mystery in red panda history and learned a lot along the way.

What’s friendship without a little FUN? Chuff helps her friends out today by getting them to relax and have fun together. In this episode, we play a game I call “Sound Story.” You’ll hear these sound effects: rain, birds, bubbles, ice cream truck, friendly robot, children laughing, twinkling, and a “boing” sound.    How to play “Sound Story”: You can find some free audio sound effect files here and here. It would be fun to make your own sound effects (tapping your knees, rubbing hands together, crinkling paper, etc.).  Make or play a few sound effects. Fewer sounds for younger children, add more sounds for older children. The listener can close their eyes and listen to the sounds. Repeat them in the same order if they want to hear them again. Ask the listener to tell you a story based on the sounds they just heard. Switch and let them choose some sounds for you to use to create your own Sound Story!
