When it comes to online learning and teletherapy, it's important to still incorporate some movement or body breaks and get the kids moving a bit.
Since my kids have always enjoyed doing these animal walks, I decided to make a Google Slides deck of them. These animal walks for kids a great way to burn off energy, as well as calm and regulate bodies, making it a good way to decrease the onset of a meltdown. Plus, they're tons of fun.
So if you're looking for a way to incorporate a quick body break into your online lessons or teletherapy session, then you'll love this digital no print set of animal walks for kids. Just load up the Google Slides and pick an animal walk to try with your student or client.
How to Use this Free Animal Walks Slide Deck for Teletherapy & Zoom Meetings
This digital occupational therapy slide deck is adapted from this post about animal walks for kids.
It is designed to be used within a Zoom meeting (or similar platform) using the screenshare function while you guide your client or student through the mindfulness exercise.
Simply open up the slide deck before your meeting. Then, when you are in screensharing mode in Zoom, you can click the present button in Google Slides to show the slideshow full screen.
It is also a great resource to send to your students or clients to practice at home on a computer, tablet, or phone. They can open up the slide deck and follow along on their own.
You could probably try it in a Google Classroom too. Not 100% sure though as I have very little experience with the platform myself. So if you try it, let me know if it works okay or not. Thanks!
