Rainbow Breathing Exercise
This may be our favorite breathing exercise yet.
To use the Rainbow Breathing Printable follow the arrows through each color of the rainbow, starting with Red.
Red: Inhale
Orange: Exhale
Yellow: Inhale
Green: Exhale
Blue: Inhale
Purple: Exhale
Optional:
Add a visualization
Red: Inhale (think of red objects)
Orange: Exhale (think of orange objects)
Yellow: Inhale (think of yellow objects)
Green: Exhale (think of green objects)
Blue: Inhale (think of blue objects)
Purple: Exhale (think of purple objects)
The best part of this breathing exercise is how easy it is to memorize and use anywhere. Tracing the rainbow is really fun, but when the printable isn’t available kids can use the idea of a rainbow and visualize each color while breathing in and out.
