Understanding Vibe and Aura: Fun Activities to Help Children Develop Positive Energy
Teaching children about vibe and aura—the energy and feelings they share with others—can be exciting and fun! Here are some specific, step-by-step activities you can do with children to help them understand and create positive vibes.
1. Happy Vibe Jar
What You Need:
– A jar or container
– Small slips of paper
– Pens or crayons
Steps:
1. Give each child several slips of paper.
2. Ask them to write or draw things that make them happy or feel good (like playing with friends, a favorite toy, or a sunny day).
3. Fold the slips and put them in the jar.
4. When anyone feels sad or needs a positive boost, pull out a slip and read or look at it together.
5. Talk about how thinking of happy things can change our vibe to feel better!
2. Mood Check-In Chart
What You Need:
– A large poster board or paper
– Markers or stickers
– Pictures of faces showing different emotions (happy, calm, sad, angry)
Steps:
1. Create a chart with rows for each child’s name and columns with emotion faces.
2. Each morning, ask children to choose the face that shows how they feel right now and place a sticker or mark under it.
3. Discuss how their vibe might affect their day and what kind of vibe they want to share with others.
4. Encourage children to think of ways to change their mood if they pick a sad or angry face.
3. Compliment Circle
What You Need:
– A small soft ball or object to pass around
Steps:
1. Have children sit in a circle.
2. Start by holding the ball and giving a genuine compliment to someone in the circle (e.g., “I like how you always share your toys.”).
3. Pass the ball to that person, who then gives a compliment to another child.
4. Continue until everyone has given and received a compliment.
5. Talk about how kind words create a warm, happy vibe for everyone.
4. Mindful Breathing with Color Imagery
What You Need:
– A quiet space
Steps:
1. Ask children to sit comfortably and close their eyes if they want.
2. Guide them to take slow, deep breaths—in through the nose, out through the mouth.
3. While breathing, ask them to imagine their “vibe” is a color—bright and happy like yellow or calm like blue.
4. With each breath, imagine their color getting bigger and glowing around them like a warm light.
5. After a few minutes, slowly open eyes and talk about how their vibe feels now.
5. Positive Vibe Dance Party
What You Need:
– Music player with upbeat songs
Steps:
1. Play fun, happy music that everyone likes.
2. Invite children to dance freely and express themselves however they want.
3. Encourage them to smile and feel the happy vibe they’re creating with their movements.
4. Pause the music every few minutes and ask how dancing made them feel—did it change their energy?
5. Repeat as many times as you like to boost everyone’s positive vibes!
6. Create Your Own Vibe Symbol
What You Need:
– Paper and coloring materials (crayons, markers, colored pencils)
Steps:
1. Ask children to think about what kind of vibe they want to share (happy, calm, friendly).
2. Help them design a symbol or picture that shows that vibe—like a sun for happiness or a heart for kindness.
3. Let them color and decorate their symbol creatively.
4. Have each child share their symbol and explain what it means to them.
5. Encourage children to remember their symbol whenever they want to feel or share that positive vibe.
Conclusion
These fun activities help children understand what vibe and aura mean and give them tools to create positive energy around themselves and others. By practicing kindness, mindfulness, and self-expression, kids learn how wonderful it feels to spread good vibes everywhere they go!
