May is Mental Health Awareness Month
“May Day” is an emergency procedure word used internationally as a distress signal in voice-procedure radio communications. The new 9-8-8 number is a suicide and crisis lifeline, similar to 9-1-1 in a medical/safety emergency. One in six youth, aged 6-17, experience a mental health condition each year. Below are some activities to practice at home for mental wellness.
6 Mental Health Activities for Kids to Practice at Home
- Create a Journal
- Younger students are better able to communicate their feelings and emotions freely in a creative way.
- Practice Gratitude Exercises
- Have students write notes about what they are grateful for and place it a jar (label it thankful jar)
- Engage in breathing exercises
- A couple deep breaths can reset not only your child’s mind
- Deep breathing exercises and meditation can increase focus and compassion
- Try music therapy
- Music can be used to encourage movement and relaxation
- Use Stress Balls and other sensory toys
How to make a stress ball
What you’ll need:
- 2 balloons
- Small funnel
- Rice, flour, Play-Doh, or Orbeez
Directions:
- Take one balloon and use a small funnel to fill it with rice, flour, Play-Doh, or Orbeez.
- Once the balloon is filled, tie the end to close it.
- Double wrap the balloon into the second balloon to make sure it’s super secured.
How to make slime
What you’ll need:
- A glass bowl
- Spoon or spatula
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 2 to 3 tablespoons of all-purpose solution or contact solution
- 1 cup of washable school glue
- 1 cup of food coloring or glitter (optional)
- A few drops of lavender essential oil (optional)
Directions:
- Mix the washable school glue and food coloring or glitter together in a glass bowl.
- Add in the teaspoon of baking soda. Give it a good mix with a spoon or spatula.
- Add in the all-purpose solution or contact solution. Add each tablespoon one at a time for best results.
- Mix it all together until the slime begins to separate from the sides of the bowl.
- (Optional step) Add in a few drops of lavender essential oil for a calming scent.
- Start kneading the slime in your hands until it’s no longer sticky and stays together.
