This is a link for a youtube video that involves an exercise called Rainbow Breathing. It is important to promote positive mental health in children, as well as, provide them with opportunities to focus on their mental health. This video was used by a teacher at one of my placements in a primary classroom. This video allowed the children to have four minutes for a moment of meditation or silence. They also seemed to enjoy the directions that the video gave them and they were easy for them to follow. The children liked moving their arms in the shape of a rainbow and for those children that kept their eyes open during the meditation they were able to see the rainbow moving on the screen, the way their hands should have been moving, which they also liked. Along with this video there are also a variety of others from this Youtube channel that provides a variety of meditation depending on what the teacher feels is necessary for the classroom environment.
