Let’s Sing Along! My Body, My Brain
Celebrate the mind-body connection with a song about healthy habits.
Watch this music video together, then print these lyrics so you can sing the song together anytime! Invite children to color the pairs of friends moving, eating, and resting. As they color, talk about each activity pictured and how it helps our brains. Ask:
- What healthy food will we eat?
- How will we move our bodies?
- How will we calm our bodies before bedtime?
- How will we connect with friends and family?
- How else will we take care of our brains and bodies?
Safe & Together
When families have to leave home in order to stay safe, it helps to remember that home is where the love is.
Bubble Time
A quiet activity such as blowing bubbles can help both children and adults breathe deeply, slow down… and calm down.
Crayon Power
Coloring together can soothe both children and grown-ups.
See You Later Alligator
A special, loving good-bye routine can make separations easier.
Friendship Bracelets
When it’s hard to be apart from those we love, the littlest things can become big reminders that someone loves us and is thinking of us.
Cloud Watching
Spending time outside can feel like a “reset” on the day.
Pillow Hugs
Hugging a pillow covered with an item of a loved one’s clothing can help comfort children when they’re missing them.
