Peace Out Presents: Big Bad Goes Back To School: Overcoming New School Year Anxiety
I'm excited to share an episode from one of my podcast friends, Dorktales Storytime Podcast ! This is the perfect story right now because it's all about going back to school and the worries that might come up during this time. Enjoy and keep your ears open for a familiar voice! :) BIG BAD GOES BACK TO SCHOOL Dorktales Podcast: Episode 74 Big Bad Goes Back To School Overcoming New School Year Anxiety A new school year has begun, and Big Bad Wolf is experiencing back-to-school jitters. He’s worried his wolf classmates will continue to make fun of him over his embarrassing incident during last year’s howl-at-the-moon final exam. Enter his Folktale Forest friends, including Serena the Capybara. They talk him through his new class nerves and guide him back to his calm, cool and collected canine self—sending him off with the confidence he needs to become a Master Howler! PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS: As back-to-school season approaches, it’s not uncommon for young minds to be filled with a mixture of excitement and anxiety. In Big Bad goes Back to School, these worries take center stage, only to be met with empathy and understanding. The lessons that emerge from this story provide comfort, encouragement, and tools for navigating the overwhelming feelings that can happen when a new school year begins. The episode includes two guided mindfulness exercises. Read more about the 5 social-emotional lessons kids will take away after listening to the episode. If you liked this story with Big Bad and Serena the caring capybara, you may also enjoy episode 49, Big Bad’s Big Feelings , where you’ll discover more mindfulness exercises to help kids self-regulate their anxious feelings.

Kaala and Chuff Learn About FUN!
What’s friendship without a little FUN? Chuff helps her friends out today by getting them to relax and have fun together. In this episode, we play a game I call “Sound Story.” You’ll hear these sound effects: rain, birds, bubbles, ice cream truck, friendly robot, children laughing, twinkling, and a “boing” sound. How to play “Sound Story”: You can find some free audio sound effect files here and here . It would be fun to make your own sound effects (tapping your knees, rubbing hands together, crinkling paper, etc.). Make or play a few sound effects. Fewer sounds for younger children, add more sounds for older children. The listener can close their eyes and listen to the sounds. Repeat them in the same order if they want to hear them again. Ask the listener to tell you a story based on the sounds they just heard. Switch and let them choose some sounds for you to use to create your own Sound Story! 😊 Please note: If you are doing this with your class, be mindful that children who have experienced trauma may be hypersensitive to sounds. For this episode I tried to choose “friendly” and neutral sounds and have listed them above to give listeners a heads up of what to expect. This may be something to consider for this game.

Peace Out LIVE! Upcoming Events
Hi, this is Chanel Tsang from Peace Out Podcast. Peace Out is on a break, but I want to invite you to join me for one of Peace Out’s first LIVE events! We’ll do the Calm Down Countdown and chill out with a relaxation story together! Festival of Giving (October 24, 2020) On Saturday, October 24th, 2020, I’ll be at Doing Good Together’s Festival of Giving . This fun event will have different kindness activities, service projects that you can do as a family, read-aloud story time, singing and dancing, and more! The event is free and online this year so anyone can join the fun! I’ll be at the opening event at 10:00 a.m. Central on Zoom, guiding kids and families in a Loving Kindness Yoga session. We’ll do a relaxation story together, just like on the podcast, and then end with a Loving Kindness practice, like the one we did in our Mycelium Mindfulness episode!

Then, I’ll have a special fun activity just for kids to do while the grown-ups do a yoga class with Michelle (and of course if you want to do the yoga class too, you can!). Then at the end we’ll all come back together and share our activities as a group!

A Cloud of Cicadas
We’re going underground today to learn more about the life cycle of cicadas! These incredible insects live underground for 17 years before emerging altogether—all 1.5 million of them! During the first breathing exercise called Backbone Breathing (our kid-friendly version of yogic spinal breathing), we are going to breathe in to fill up our “tummy tanks” and make an imaginary car drive up our spine, or backbone, and breathe out to go back down the backbone road. The goal is to pay more attention to the spine because it helps us breathe better (especially when we fill up our “tummy tank”) and improves our posture, so our chest and shoulders are more open, allowing us to breathe in and out more deeply. If you are listening with someone else, you can take turns: one person follows along with the directions and breathe while the other traces their spine, paying attention to when they are breathing in (up) and breathing out (down). Rewind the episode to switch and take turns doing the breathing exercise! Please subscribe to Peace Out so you don’t miss an episode and leave us a review and five stars if you like what you hear! This will help other kids and families find us and then find their calm too! Thank you!

Field Trip to Peace Out Park!
Today we’re going on a field trip today! Activate those imaginations and get ready to spend some time outdoors in the park as we practice mindfulness together. We miss being outdoors with our family, friends, and other people so we designed this episode to feel and sound like we’re really outside in a park together. It is a great episode to listen to with headphones to get the full experience! We talk about a mindfulness meditation analogy that was adapted from the well-known bird and ship analogy by renowned Tibetan Buddhist Lama Gelek Rimpoche. Stay well and take care, everyone.

Howdy, Partner: Seahorse Life
Seahorses are seriously interesting creatures! Learn more about these fish as we breathe, move, and relax together. A core part of Peace Out is social-emotional learning. Today we talk about how we can check in with our family and friends during this challenging time. We also introduce Alternate Nostril Breathing, a pranayama (yogic breathing) practice that has a lot of benefits . As we are explaining it over audio only here, we will do a simplified version of the hand movement to keep things simple. I hope I’ve explained it clearly in the episode, but you may want to take a look at our resources to get the visual explanation of the concept. If you and your children are interested, I’ve included a couple of YouTube video links showing the proper hand movement and also another simpler version for kids. Before you listen, it might be a good idea to make sure there are no stuffy noses and wash hands as we will be touching our face during this exercise. Then wash hands afterwards too. 🙂 Stay well and take care, everyone.

Find your Forest
We pretend to whistle with an acorn cap today, bring our hands near our mouth. Feel free to skip this one and/or make sure everyone has washed their hands right before listening. Did you know that trees talk to each other? They do! Mother trees can send food to their saplings. Trees that are being attacked can send warnings to their neighbours. Trees help each other and that connection is very important for their own survival and health. Oh yes, of course we’re doing a tree pose today(!), along with a couple other relaxation exercises. We also mention the Australian bushfires. During the time of writing, it was announced that there are no more active fires for the first time since July 2019! Great news, but the devastation from these mass fires will take months and even years to recover from, especially now with COVID-19, and you can help. Here are a few places accepting donations at the link below. (And as with any charitable donation, it’s best to do some research into the organization to ensure you’re happy where your donations are going.) Here's how to help Australia bushfire victims by Amy Chillag and Lauren Lee, CNN Of course there are many, many people who need support right now in our own neighbourhoods too, so if you can, think about donating to your local food banks and shelters.

It’s the end of the week so it’s time to relaaax! Today we’re going to do a top to toes relaxation exercise. Mindfulness Activity: We are focusing on relaxing our bodies today but it’s also important to keep active and moving. If you can’t get outside to play in the fresh air and sunshine, you can still play some fun movement games in the house. Here are a few ideas (just be careful of the things and people around you): Walk up and down the stairs 5 times (try doing this in different ways: slow motion, fast without stamping, skipping one step, backwards while holding the railing)Play sports with a beach ball or balloon. You can kick it around, try to keep it in the air, play volleyball, or aim in into a basket. Do yoga! Find some kids’ yoga videos or cards to stretch and move and balance. Yoga poses can help build your muscles, improve your coordination and balance (which is great for sports), and keep your body AND your brain active! Take a long string or ball of yarn and make a path around the room. Balance as you walk along the line. You can make straight and curvy lines! Try walking backwards too. Follow the leader. The leader crosses the room in any way except walking while the other person copies their movement. Take turns being the leader. Hope that’s enough to get you started! If you think of other fun and safe movement games to play indoors, please share it with us on Twitter ( @peaceoutpodcast ), Instagram ( @peaceoutstories ), or on the Bedtime FM Facebook page !

It’s all about the senses today as we do a simple grounding exercise. This good for those who experience anxiety or are having anxious thoughts. NOTE: We will explore the sense of taste and smell, so it may be helpful to have a piece of fruit or veggie stick ready! Mindfulness Activity: Go outside for a sensory walk! Choose one of your senses to focus on during different parts of your walk (what can you see, hear, smell, touch right now?). You can try this listening game outside: find a safe place to stop, close your eyes, and focus on the sounds you are hearing. Put up your fist and then one finger for each sound you hear until your whole hand is open. Share what sounds you heard and see if someone heard different sounds. ** Remember to stay 6 feet / 2 metres (or 3 kids' arm length) distance away from other people on your walk.

Time to Pause: Introduction
Many countries are closing schools in response to the coronavirus, which means students are home for awhile. Things are confusing and changing everyday, so now it’s more important than ever to take time out of our days to pause so we can rest, recharge, and go back to life with a clear and calm mind. So we’ve recorded five mini episodes (one for every weekday) that can be listened to at the beginning or any point of your day to help build mindfulness into your child’s routine. We’re calling them “Time to Pause”. You can create a routine and healthy habits by listening to them again on the designated day of the week. And remember: Social distancing doesn’t mean emotional distancing . Kids and parents and family can listen to the Time to Pause episodes together, they’re only a couple minutes long! We even add an activity that you can do after the episode is over, most are ways to express kindness to others, something that I really think is needed at this time. Peace Out is part of KidsListen, which has put together a round up of educational podcast episodes, including science podcasts explaining the coronavirus, fun and silly story podcasts for screen-free entertainment, and mindfulness and relaxation podcasts like ours.

Tomatoes, Bees, and Me
Are tomatoes a fruit or a vegetable? Today we’re talking about being adaptable while we move, breathe, and imagine that we’re a growing tomato plant and also a buzzing bumble bee! One of our poses today, inspired by boat pose in yoga, is quite challenging, using a lot of core muscles. A couple of options are given, but one more that can be used is holding behind the knees. Encourage your child(ren) to rest whenever they need it. If you’d like to tell us about a time when someone did something kind for you, please send a voice recording to peaceout@bedtime.fm with “Kindness Story (child’s name)” as the subject. We will listen and respond to each one and choose a few to include on future Peace Out episodes!

Today we talk about the importance of trying our best, trying again (or practicing), and pivoting (changing direction/strategy). We want to promote resiliency in children by encouraging them to keep trying and start to look for ways to be excellent!

Ground Level
For this episode, the first exercise requires a bit of room as we crab walk around. If you’re listening in your classroom, it might be a good idea to make sure you have a nice clear area first. Today we’re focusing on our five senses: taste, touch, smell, hear, see. Five breathing and movement activities and we end off by doing a helpful grounding technique that helps bring back control when we feel that things are out of control, especially for anyone who experiences anxiety. Check out our social media for pictures and video of the Tibetan singing bowl and the grounding technique too!

This season we’re heading out to space, and with that, we are introducing a new feature: SafeSPACE. If your child would like to share where/who/what their safe, happy, or calm space is, please send in a recording of them, picture, or message to peaceout@bedtime.fm or on our Facebook page @ bedtimefm or Twitter @peaceoutpodcast. We’d love to hear what makes them feel this way and why and we’ll share it on a future episode or on our social media! I really want to learn to do yoga teaching professionally and I think being qualified will allow me to bring more structured guidance and relaxations to Peace Out. I have a personal gofundme page that I’d appreciate you spending a moment to check out, and hopefully feel empowered to support. Go to https://www.gofundme.com/peace-out-yoga-teacher-training .

Sun Salutations
This is the final episode of Season One! Thank you for listening along with us. Today we are going to show gratitude and salute the sun, without which life on earth would not be possible. Let’s travel to space and learn more about the amazing sun! And make sure you listen to the end to hear an exciting announcement about Peace Out Season Two! A relaxation story for children ages 5 – 12 Transcript: Salutations, friends! One of my favourite books as a child was Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White. I always cry when I read it. I even remember reading it again with my Gr. 5 students one year for our book study and actually starting to tear up right in class! But at least it was a good opening to talk about feelings and the power of words and literature. So what are salutations? I first heard of this word from Charlotte’s Web. When Charlotte first meets Wilbur the pig, she greets him by saying salutations and explains that they are just her fancy way of saying hello or good morning! Now that we know that, what are “sun salutations”? In yoga, sun salutations are a series of poses done in the direction of the sun, a way of recognizing and honouring the important role that the sun has in our lives—without the sun, life on our earth would be impossible. Not humans, animals, insects, or plants. The earth would be too cold. We need the sun’s warmth and light to survive. The sun is so important that some ancient cultures even worshipped the sun! They would build structures out of rock to track the sun’s movement and would also chart the seasons and interesting or special sun events like solar eclipses and created calendars. Why did they do all this? Because they knew how important the sun’s impact was on their lives. And today, some scientists dedicate their lives to studying heliophysics, the study of the sun and its impact on the solar system. Today, let’s salute the sun and show our gratitude, how thankful we are for it, by doing our own sun salutations. In one of our previous relaxation stories, “A Trip to the Moon,” we climbed aboard my spaceship called The Star Bouncer . Let’s get into it again so that we can view the sun from space, though we won’t be able to get too close since the sun is just too bright and hot for us! But we’ll get as close as we safely can! Okay, climb on board The Star Bouncer now. Lie down on the floor or on your bed, facing your feet to the sun if you can. Make any adjustments needed to make sure you’re comfortable. Turn your palms up so that they’re facing the sky. Give your legs a wiggle and then let them fall wherever they want to naturally on the floor. Close your eyes again. We’ll countdown to blastoff with the Calm Down Countdown. As I count down, you can try taking a deep breath in through your nose as I say the numbers, and breathe out slowly through your mouth in between the numbers. Ready? 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2,

Autumn Leaves
For our friends in the Southern Hemisphere, the part of the world that is below the equator, it is autumn. Here’s a special autumn relaxation story for you! Let the beautiful colours of autumn leaves fill your imagination as we toss and make leaf angels in them! You will need a lot of room for this one, so make sure there is enough space around you before you begin. A relaxation story for children aged 5 - 12. Transcript: Good morning, or good afternoon, or good evening. Welcome to Peace Out, stories for calming down and relaxation. I wonder where in the world you are right now. In some places in the world it is nighttime, however in other places children are getting out of bed and ready for school. Even the seasons are different in different parts of the world. The Northern Hemisphere is the half of the world above the equator. It includes places like North America, Central America, the Caribbean, Europe, most of Asia, and the northern parts of Africa and South America. For those places, it is spring right now. The flowers are blooming, and the days are getting hotter and longer. It is autumn in the Southern Hemisphere, the half of the world below the equator, in places like the southern parts of Africa and Asia, Antarctica, Australia, most of South America, and New Zealand. The days are getting colder and shorter. The leaves on the trees have been slowly changing colour from green, to yellow and brown, and then falling to the ground. I’m in Canada, so I’m really enjoying our spring weather right now, but one of my favourite things to do in autumn is playing in piles of leaves. Today we're going to take a trip to the park and play in the leaves. We're going to do things a little differently today. I want you to stand up nice and tall if you can. You will need a little bit of space around you so if you are listening in your classroom or your bedroom make sure that you're not too close to other people or furniture. Make sure that your feet are right below your shoulders. Stand tall and strong. Relax your arms by your sides. Close your eyes. Roll your shoulders back, and lift up your chin so that it is parallel to the floor. As I do the Calm Down Countdown, try breathing in as I say each number, breathing out in between. 10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1. We're at the park now. Can you feel the warmth of the sun? Tilt your head up to the sky and imagine the warm sun shining on your face. Now tilt your head down. See those leaves at your feet? They look really crunchy. Can you try crunching them with your toes? Wiggle your toes and then scrunch them together to crunch up the leaves. Crunch, crunch, crunch. Uh oh, the wind is blowing. I think it's going to blow some more leaves down off the trees. Take your hands from your sides and sweep them upwards, like the wind through the trees. Now keep them stretching right up high, reaching towards the sky. You look a little bit like a tree. Stretch your fingers

Bike Adventure
Put on your helmet and hop on your bike for a ride around in your imagination! Today we’ll focus on visualization and movement as we imagine our journey, ending with a head-to-toe relaxation exercise while we consider how we are all connected to each other and the earth. A mindfulness story suitable for children aged 5 – 12 years old. Transcript: Hello everyone! I’m so glad you’re here. It’s spring here so that means that we’re outside almost every day afterschool because my kids love to ride their bikes around our neighbourhood. Do you like to ride bikes? Today for our relaxation story we’re going to head out on our bikes, off for some fun and adventure! Are you ready? Let’s get our helmets on and get ready to cycle! Have a seat on the floor, crossing your legs if that’s comfortable. Sit up tall. Lift your chin so that it is parallel to the ground. Close your eyes. Breathe. As I do the Calm Down Countdown, try to visualize the path we’re going to cycle on. Some of you may imagine a dirt path through the green woods. Others may think of the sidewalk in a familiar neighbourhood. Maybe some of you will imagine a gravel trail through a park. Ready? 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Let’s keep our eyes closed. We’re going to relax today but work our imaginations! So let’s start by imagining our bicycle. You can think about your own bike, or maybe a different one. What colour is it? Does it have a horn? A basket? Or handlebar streamers? We have our helmets on already, so let’s hop on our bikes now. Pretend you’re holding onto the handlebars and lift your arms out straight in front of you. Now let’s imagine that we’re on a trail that’s twisting left and right. Move your hands backwards and forwards like you’re steering. Take big breaths in through your nose and long breaths out from your mouth. Put your arms down now, placing your hands on your knees. Make sure you’re keeping your posture straight. Let’s imagine that we’re going up a hill now. Do you see it there in front of you? What does it look like? It is a grassy hill with a thin flattened path carved in it by hundreds of bikes and footsteps before you? Is it up a steep sidewalk? Hold that picture in your head as you begin to lean backwards from the hips now, keeping your back straight. Lean as far back as you comfortably can without losing your balance. And come back to centre. We’ve made it to the top of the hill! Take a moment here to look at the view, imagining what you can see from up here. Alright, it’s time to cycle down the hill. Sit up tall, take a deep breath in and let it out as you lean forward from the hips. Keep your back straight as you lean forward. Imagine the wind on your face as your bike speeds down the hill, faster and faster, until it begins to slow down as the ground levels. Now move back to the centre. Wonderful! Now we’re really moving along on the bike trail. We

Circus Spectacular
Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls! Welcome to the greatest show on earth: Circus Spectacular, starring YOU! Join us as we use our body and mind to imagine ourselves being contortionists, clowning around, and flying through the air on a trapeze! A fun relaxation story to wind down to in the classroom or at home. A mindfulness story suitable for children aged 5 – 12 years old. Transcript Hi! We’re winding down our first season, just three more episodes to go! I’m coming up to my summer break here in Canada, so I’ll be spending time with my daughters, swimming, running, reading, and also writing and recording Season 2 of Peace Out for September. The Bedtime FM team is already helping me line up ideas and writing stories for that, so I’m so excited about where Peace Out is going and hope you subscribe to us so that you don’t miss it! Thanks! Hello everyone. Thanks for joining us today here at Peace Out, stories for calming down and relaxation. I’m Chanel and today we’re going to the circus! [CIRCUS MUSIC PLAYS] Let’s start by sitting down. Cross your legs and close your eyes. Let’s start with the Calm Down Countdown. Breathe in and out. Keep breathing as I count down… 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Keep your eyes closed and use your imagination to picture this: a huge tent with red and white stripes. [CIRCUS MUSIC FADES IN] There are little triangle flags strung up all around the tent. What colour are they? The flags are gently waving in the breeze. Let’s wave our bodies too. Gently rock from side to side, side to side. And there are bright spotlights shining, circles of light moving around. Can you see them? Sit up tall and lift your chin up a little. And now, keeping your eyes closed, turn your head to one side, like you’re looking over your shoulder. Now turn your head back to the middle, facing forward. Turn your head to the other side, looking over your shoulder. Do a few more turns on your own, and picture the spotlights roving around the circus tent with its flags. One of the lights has just passed the big banner hanging right over the tent entrance. It says “CIRCUS SPECTACULAR” in big letters. What else can you see? Very nice, everyone! This is helping us warm up for the main event, because guess what, I just heard that Circus Spectacular is looking for kids to be part of today’s special performance! How amazing is that? Oh, look over there. It’s the ringmaster. She’s got a black top hat on and a coat with long tails on it. She’s holding a microphone and announcing that it’s time for Circus Spectacular’s new mini performers—that’s us! Our first performance is with the Contortionist. The contortionist is able to bend his body in different ways. Let’s try. Keep your eyes closed and stretch up one arm to the sky. Reach over with that arm to the opposite side, so that your arm is across your chest. Keep it in place by using your other ha

All About the Music
🎶 Music can inspire, excite, and even calm us. Today we are going to practice focusing by listening to a piece of classical music. Whenever you notice yourself thinking of something else or your attention drawn somewhere else, it’s okay—just refocus on the music. It will take a lot of practice (millions of adults practice this everyday when they meditate) to focus so this can be an episode you listen to more than once. There are no movements so it’s a great one to listen to in the car too. A mindfulness story suitable for children aged 5 – 10 years old. Transcript Peace Out is a project that we volunteer our time and energy to do because it’s a passion that we’re excited about! We love bringing relaxing stories to your home or classroom. We’ve have enjoyed hearing how much YOU like it too. You can always let us know what you think by tweeting us @PeaceOutPodcast or connecting to our Facebook Page @BedtimeFM or by email at peaceout@bedtime.fm. If you’ve been enjoying Peace Out, we hope you consider becoming a Patreon or donating a tip via PayPal. Details can be found at bedtime.fm/support. Hi, how are you? Thanks for joining us today. This is Peace Out, stories for calming down and relaxation. My name is Chanel and today we’re going to do something different. Today we’re going to practice focusing on one thing—music! I chose a beautiful classical piece that I hope you’ll like. Are you comfortable? Take a minute to adjust your body so that you are. You can sit or lie down for this one, whichever feels best for you. Close your eyes. Take a deep breath in and let it out. We do the Calm down Countdown before each story to get our minds and attitudes in the right place. We want to slow down and start to focus on our breathing. Let’s keep that in mind as we breathe in when you hear the numbers, and breathe out in between. Ready? 10…9…8…7...6...5...4...3...2...1 Today we are going to try something different. There won’t be any movement today, so wherever you are, you can really let yourself relax because you’ll be there for the next few minutes. Keep your eyes closed. Breathe… We’re going to listen to the music now. As it plays, try to focus only on the music. Forget about where you are, what you may look like, what you’re going to do after this, what you’re having for lunch or dinner…just focus on the music. The different notes and rhythms. How does the music make you feel? And guess what? You’ll lose your focus at some point. That’s totally normal, so don’t worry about it. All you have to do is, notice that your focus is not on the music anymore and then bring your attention back to the music. That’s it. Now, this might happen a few times during the song. Again, it’s okay. Just bring your attention back to the music and try again. This exercise is about focusing and more specifically, trying to focus. Are you ready? Remember, focus on the music and if y
