Nature Moment

Spending time outdoors can help you slow down, feel calm, and reconnect with yourself. Even imagining a peaceful outdoor space makes you feel better. Taking time to notice the world around you can improve your mood and help you manage stress. It could be as simple as a breeze, a sound, or the feeling of the ground beneath you.

This activity invites you to pause, tune in to nature, and notice what’s around you.

What you’ll do:

• Go outside or use a guided visualization to notice your surroundings.
• Pay attention to what you see, hear, feel, and smell.
• This reflective activity can be done alone, in a small group, or with your whole class.

Tips:

• Walk to the schoolyard or, with permission, a nearby park, trail, or field.
