Relaxing Jungle Story
Relaxing jungle story: the teacher tells a story while students lie down, imagine and relax each body part.
How to play
- Everyone lies on their back with eyes closed.
- Play soft background music.
- Narrate a walk through the jungle: the river, the trees, the animals, the sun — relaxing one body part in each scene.
- At the end, students wake up slowly by stretching.
Rules
- Silence during the story.
- Students who don't want to close their eyes can look at the ceiling.
Variations
Easier
Very short story.
Standard
5–7 minute story.
Harder
Students whisper how the story continues.
Adaptations
- Students who can't lie down: seated.
- ADHD: shorter story with movements.
Learning goals
- Encourage relaxation and return to calm.
- Develop imagination and attention.
