Spooky games and activities

Happy Halloween!

Children love Halloween, and with so much fun to be had they are likely to tire themselves out with all the excitement of the day! If children need a moment to chill out and relax before putting on their masks, pumpkin craving, apple bobbing or more Halloween fun, here are some brilliant exercises to help children feel fang-tastic!

The Mummy

Ask everyone to lie down on the floor, totally still and quiet. You could wrap toilet rolls around your body for extra fun and frolics! If the children are older, they may like to count and each count represents the number of years that they have been lying still for. The aim is to get the children to be as calm as possible with the hope they then drop off to sleep!

The Black Cat

This lovely relaxing massage technique that will send your child into a peaceful state. Ask your child to lie on their tummy and then stroke their back in long firm strokes as if you were stroking cat. On the out breath they may make a soft noise if they wish.

Mind Reading

Our RK kids love this game! Tell your little one that they will be taking on the role of a Wizard and ask them to see if they can read your mind. Choose a topic together of either LOVE, PEACE or HAPPINESS and then spend a few minutes thinking of something which relates to your selected topic. Look into your child’s eyes and let them see if they can work out what you are thinking. You’ll be surprised as to how well this works!

Relax Kids has a unique 7-step system to helping children relax. Our method has been used by hundreds of thousands of children for almost a quarter of a century. It works so well because it worths with children’s natural energy system. Our Award Winning system helps create balance in the mind, body and emotions. Each step links to the chakras and this is why our system works so well. 

Here are some exercises to try at home.

For self-awareness and boost immune system. 

TRY THIS AT HOME

Ask your child to place their left hand in their fight hand and rest their thumb on the palm. Lightly stroke the palm in circles. 

This exercise helps boost the immune system and can help protect your body.

For focus, concentration and emotional management

TRY THIS NOW

Take in a deep breath into your belly. As you inhale feel as if you are breathing into your stomach and then chest- as if you were climbing a ladder and breathe out slowly as you come down the ladder. 

This exercise stimulates the relaxation response which helps manage anxiety. 

For self-esteem, confidence and optimism. 

TRY THIS WITH YOUR CHILD 

Look deeply into their eyes and say ‘ you are special, you are loved, you are unique and you are valuable.’ Get them to repeat back ‘I am special and loved, unique and valuable.’

This is great for boosting inner self- worth. 

Deep relaxation, imagination and a sense of peace 

TRY THIS TONIGHT

Melting Butter
Close your eyes, be very still and imagine you are a tiny piece of butter lying on warm toast.

Imagine that the ground is warm like toast and you are slowly melting into the toast. Feel your whole body becoming soft and gooey as you melt and relax into the warm toast. Take in a deep breath and breath all the way out slowly. As you breathe out, your whole body softens and melts into the toast. Breathe in, breathe out. Notice what is happening. Notice how your body feels as it is melting slowly. How do you feel? How long can you lie there for, feeling relaxed and calm?

This is great for developing the imagination and inner peace.

RELAX is the final step in the Relax Kids 7-step system.

FREE Halloween Meditation for October

Here is a Wizardy relaxation perfect for this month!

Close your eyes, be very still and imagine you are standing in front of a pot. You are surrounded by all sorts of bottles and potions. You are making a potion to help you relax and be peaceful. 

Take some of the bottles and trickle some of the liquids and sprinkle some of the powders into the bubbling pot. You can see beautiful blue smoke coming out of the huge pot, and you know that your peace spell is nearly ready: just a dash of this and a sprinkle of that. When you have added all your secret ingredients, take a big spoon and sip just a drop of the powerful liquid.

It tastes so sweet and feels cool on the tongue. Instantly your whole mouth starts to relax. The beautiful feeling of peace starts to spread all over your cheeks and forehead. 

Your eyes start to feel deliciously heavy and relaxed. Your neck also feels relaxed and peaceful. This must be a strong and powerful potion, as the feeling of peace is spreading fast into every cell and organ of your body. Your heart feels calm and peaceful. 

You can feel your heart beats getting slower. Your lungs feel peaceful, as your breathing slows down and becomes soft. Your tummy relaxes completely and becomes peaceful. Your arms and legs also become peaceful, as the strong spell takes effect. 

Soon you are covered in a glow of soft peace. The feeling of peace has affected you so deeply. It feels as if you are in a blue bubble of peace. You feel so calm and so silent. 

It feels lovely to be peaceful. Stay there for as long as you can and enjoy the spell of peace.

Repeat to yourself in your mind, I am relaxed, I am relaxed, I am relaxed, I am relaxed. Breathe in. Breathe out. You feel calm and relaxed.

With love from us all at Relax Kids

Party tricks and treats

Do you need some new tricks to make your Halloween party and keep your children off the sweeties? Try these for size!

Apple Bobbing – Always a winner with children and even Mums and Dads! Rather than challenge everyone to take as many apples out of the bucket as they can, ask the participants to take as many bites out of the apple as they can!

Eye Balls – Peel some grapes and put into a bowl as a Halloween scary snack!

Vampire’s Blood Punch – Created by using warm apple and orange juice, which is heated in a pan. Add to the mix, a few cloves, some cinnamon and a little ginger, then strain before serving. For extra gore, use Cranberry juice for a rich blood colour and if that’s not enough, a few pomegranate seeds should work nicely!

Let’s get splashing

There’s one thing we can count on, and that is, we can expect our fair share of rainy days. Fear not, we’ve compiled a small, yet useful, list of things to occupy your children on a rainy day.

Bake/Cook Something

Whilst being a whole lot of fun, this can also double up as a valuable life skill. Whether you are cooking up a delicious dinner or a sumptuous sponge cake, this can occupy you and your little ones for hours on end. It’s a fantastic way to bring everyone together, delegating a task to each person gives everyone a part to play. And what better reward for your hard work? FOOD!

Build a Den/Pillow Fort

If you didn’t do this at least once in your childhood, you’ve definitely been missing out. Gather some dining room chairs to act as the walls, then hang bedsheets over the top to become the roof, collect some pillows and what have you got? Your very own little kingdom. What to do in your new kingdom? Well that leads us nicely onto number three

Read a Book

You’ll struggle to find a better past time than reading a good book, find the right one and you can get lost in its story for hours on end. Best yet, it’s great for relaxing the mind and it holds educational values that other activities may not. Is there a better way to spend a rainy afternoon than with your favourite book?

Board Games

Much like the cooking activity, this next one can involve the whole family having fun together. Dust off the old Monopoly box and you can play for the majority of afternoon. If Monopoly isn’t your cup of tea, then games like Connect Four or Jenga are great fun, whilst also stimulating the brain=

Movie Day

This one is perfect if you aren’t feeling super creative. Relaxing on the sofa with lots of snacks, snuggled up in a cosy blanket, watching you favourite film, will make the rainy day drift away.

Well, there you have it, five, free, easy and fun things to do on a rainy day. They may not be ground breaking, but they’ll definitely occupy an afternoon or two!
