Equipment: A quiet field in the morning is ideal. Can be indoors.
Time: Total ~ 5-10 minutes.
Brief description:Fun physical warm-up. In a circle, everyone starts as a small seed (crouched, hunched), then slowly sprouts and grows, eventually flowering towards the sun (tippy toes, arms outstretched). Repeat, getting faster each time, leading eventually to seeds in unison jumping into the air and letting out loud "ahhhs"!
Introduction
Seed - Flower Stretch

The idea is to grow as slowly
as possible, which is very
challenging, e.g., children will
experience thigh burn and
are usually to do things fast.
This forces a mental slow
down so really emphasize
that it is about growing as
slowly as possible.
• Encourage children to let out a big sigh as they are flowering, then relax.
• Next time, a bigger sigh. And maybe another time, really big sigh, and a little jump in the air.
• Then do it faster, this time jumping into the air and letting out a big "ahhh!"
. Continue brochure text here. Continue
• In a circle, demonstrate being a seed (crouched and hunched as much as possible).
• Everyone adopts the seed position.
• Then imagine that you are slowly going to grow into a flower.
