Taking a Walk for Stress Reduction in School

This is for students of all ages. At school, taking a 10 minute walk around the perimeter of the property, playground, or another safe spot is a way to both de-stress and gain a fresh perspective, then coming back inside ready to work.
Kathy, almost 5, walking
Swinging arms in opposition to legs exercises the right-left brain connection (like cross-crawling) and is done like this: when the right leg steps forward, the left arm swings forward, and when the left leg steps forward the right arm swings forward. See the photo of Kathy walking with her arms and legs in opposition.

It is fun to sing while walking and makes the exercise a game. It is a way to practice seasonal songs, songs from a period of history, or songs on any unit being studied at the time.

Even if there is not time for a 10 minute walk, going on an errand is a distraction that gives time to let the problem of the moment slip away for awhile.
