Presenting Dorktales Storytime: Big Bad's Big Feelings

I'm excited to share "Big Bad's Big Feelings" from Dorktales Storytime Podcast. I love their fun and funny take on fairytales and their original characters and stories too. Check out their other stories in the links below! 

Thank you to the whole DT team with special thanks to Jodi, Jonathan, Molly, and Amy for being so welcoming and kind.

Some Peace Out updates and news in the intro. You can also keep in touch by subscribing to our mailing list

Hope you enjoy this story as much as I enjoyed being part of it! 

Peace out and peace within,

Chanel 

From the Dorktales Storytime Podcast show notes:

Annoyed and anxious and angry, oh my! Looks like our friends from the Folktale Forest are on an emotional roller coaster, especially the Big Bad Wolf. He's so upset, he just wants to howl at the moon! Luckily, they encounter a caring capybara who patiently helps them sort through their big feelings and calm themselves down. Join Jonathan, Redge, and Big Bad as they learn how to understand one another, and huff and puff their stress away. 

PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS: Recognizing overwhelming feelings is one of the first steps towards feeling better and managing stress. This is an original story that helps kids learn how to self-regulate. It covers many coping strategies and ends with a mindfulness exercise that will help young people move through their anxious feelings. We have a special grownup companion guide for this episode, ?Are You Feeling Big Feelings?? It?s FREE when you sign up for our community mailing list:

Guest Episode! Cool Facts About Animals

During our recent Ocean Adventure season, we talked about some very awesome and unique creatures and plants that live in the ocean. One thing that any animal lover (or anyone living on earth) needs to learn more about is how to stop plastic pollution. Plastic pollution not only hurts ocean life, but it hurts the whole earth. So I am sharing my podfriend Cool Facts About Animals, a podcast by kids for kids! This is their episode called ?How Kids Can Stop Plastic Pollution.? I love how the kids talk to experts about everyday ways we can help!

Since Peace Out is in between seasons right now, for updates follow us on social media, subscribe to the podcast on your app, and join our mailing list too 

Subscribe to Cool Facts About Animals for more fun episodes about animals!

From their original episode description:

In this episode, we learn about how much plastic is in the ocean, why that?s a problem for animals, how it all got there, and, most importantly, how you can help.

 

We talked to so many experts to make this episode. Thank you to:

Senator Jeff Merkley

Dr. Jenna Jambeck, University of Georgia

Christopher Joyce, NPR

Rachel Giles, Chelsea Rochman?s lab

Shaye DiPasquale, Terracycle

David Clark, Amcor

Holiday Bonus Episode: The Snowball

Hello everyone! We usually post a new episode every other week but this week I thought I?d share a holiday story that I wrote that was shared on the Story Time podcast. It?s about a boy named Henry who is having a tough time in a new neighbourhood?but things start to change once he starts making the biggest snowball of his life!

It?s read by my friend Rob Griffiths. If you like this or want to hear more bedtime stories, go over to bedtime.fm or find Story Time on Apple Podcasts. They have a lot of great stories that I think you?ll really love! And you might hear me reading a couple of them!

But for now, I hope you enjoy my little story called The Snowball.

Happy holidays!

Peace out and peace within,

Chanel

Loving Kindness Meditation for Children

In this bonus episode for parents, caregivers, and educators, Chanel shares her favourite mindfulness meditation practice called Mett? Meditation, or Loving Kindness Meditation. This is a practice that comes from Buddhism and its intention is to cultivate an attitude of benevolence and goodwill towards ourself and others, by repeating short phrases, like: ?may you be happy? and ?may you be healthy.?

Loving Kindness Song 

I hope you're happy

I hope you're happy

And healthy

And healthy

Always be safe

Always be safe

Live with ease

Live with ease

(To the tune of "Frère Jacques")

I?ll be doing a live Peace Out relaxation story on Saturday, November 7th at 11:30 a.m. EST. I?m partnering with my friend Michelle at Parivartan Yoga for a really awesome family yoga day on Zoom! First, we?ll get together to do a Peace Out story. 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!

This event is by donation and all proceeds will go to one of the food banks near us so we can support our neighbours who might need some extra help right now.

Register in advance for this meeting here!

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

 

I hope I can see you at one of these fun events! I?m so excited to bring Peace Out to you live and get to see your faces and do the breathing exercises together, even though we might live far apart.

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.

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. 

Today?s Themes

Scientific (curriculum connections): seahorse life cycle

Social-emotional connections: emotional literacy and connection

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. 

Stay well and take care, everyone. 

Today?s Themes

Scientific (curriculum connections): Trees, root systems, air pollution

Time to Pause: Friday

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! We?d love to see how you?re keeping active!

Time to Pause: Tuesday

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.

Maybe you can bring along some more fruit and veggies to snack on after 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. Check it out at www.kidslisten.org/activity-podcast

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 [email protected] 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!

May you be happy May you be healthy May you be safe May you live with ease 

This is a beautiful practice that helps encourage kindness.

This season we?re heading out to space, and with that, we are introducing a new feature: SafeSPACE. We hope that as children think about and talk about where they feel safe, it opens up discussion with their families and also creates an awareness of where they can go or who they can turn to when they need it. 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 [email protected] or on our Facebook page @bedtimefm or Twitter @peaceoutpodcast.

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. We hope that as children think about and talk about where they feel safe, it opens up discussion with their families and also creates an awareness of where they can go or who they can turn to when they need it. 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 [email protected] 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!

Full transcript of each episode is available upon request from [email protected].

Peace out and peace within.

Peace Out was created and hosted by Chanel Tsang, and produced by Rob Griffiths at Bedtime FM.

Just Breathe

Breath is life! If you want to practice mindfulness, focus on your breathing because it?s always happening right now. Today?s story does not have much movement, instead we are going to do a few breathing exercises (including Darth Vader breathing!) during our guided imagery! 

Our Darth Vader breathing is inspired by pranayama breathing. Here are a couple of videos if older children or adults are interested in learning more!

Do you have a kindness club or something similar in your school? Do you do random acts of kindness with your family or friends? We?d love to hear from you and what you do!
