These ideas to teach breathing to preschoolers are fromthe website:

These are breathing exercises we used with preschool classes:

Ballooning

When you balloon, you breathe in (deeply) and as you breath in youstart with your arms at your sides and raise them up parallell toyour shoulders and up over your head. Then you blow it all out,make it exaggerated like a balloon spewing out all the air. Thekids really like it and it really lowers tension.

Draining

When you drain, you put both hands out in front of you, you twist (andtwist, and twist and twist) your hands around like you were turningoffwater and you screw your face all up, then you blow the air outthrough your lips (I know... there will be a little spit!) but thekids really like that one and you can feel the stress and tensionleaving your own body! (automatic stress relief!)
