In this mindfulness activity, children will practice deep breathing while tracing the shape of a shamrock. This simple yet effective exercise helps them develop self-regulation skills, increase focus, and promote a sense of calm.

As they inhale, they will silently think or say, “I am,” and as they exhale, they will choose a positive word like “lucky,” “calm,” or “energized.” This practice encourages mindful awareness, reinforces positive self-talk, and provides a fun, St. Patrick’s Day-themed way to engage in relaxation techniques.
