About this tool

Breathing Shapes guides students through calm breathing. A shape slowly grows as they breathe in and shrinks as they breathe out, with a soft gliding tone to follow along.

Best for: Foundation to Year 6

How to use it

1. Choose a shape and colour in Settings.
2. Pick a breathing pattern: simple, deep, box breathing or 4-7-8.
3. Breathe in as the shape grows and out as it shrinks.
4. Keep going until the car reaches the finish flag.

Teaching tips

• Start with Simple Breathing (in 4, out 4) for younger students.
• Teach breathing when students are calm so they can use it when they are upset.
• Use it before tests, after breaks or as part of a calm corner.
