Animal Stretches
Be a cat, a cobra, a tree. Ten minutes of stretching that does not feel like stretching.
A short wind-down sequence for the end of the day, or a reset in the middle of a difficult one.

طريقة التنفيذ
- Clear a small space and everyone takes off their shoes.
- Start on all fours: arch your back like an angry cat, then dip it.
- Lie on your front and lift your chest like a snake.
- Stand on one leg with hands overhead like a tree.
- Finish lying flat and completely still for one minute.
لماذا هذا مفيد لهم
The final minute of stillness is the point of the whole sequence, and children will accept it after moving in a way they will not if you simply ask them to lie down. Slow stretching also downshifts the nervous system, which is why this works better before bed than a story alone.
