At my phonics placement, the class teacher played some relaxing Disney music after the children came in after their lunch break. They started gently massaging (more like patting and poking!) each other on their back along the music! I thought it was a great way of getting the children to calm down and get them in focus mode after they have been bouncing around in the playground.
Since I enjoy practicing yoga, I might play some relaxing meditational music, or perhaps even play a youtube video of easy cool down yoga in my classroom. I can then video this and send it to parents or put in on a class blog to demonstrate that the children are taking care of themselves physically and mentally!
