Buzz The Bee: Kids Meditation To Help With Focus And Wiggles

Hey there,

Little thinker.

Guess what?

Today,

We're going on a brain adventure with a very special friend.

It's Buzz the bumblebee.

Buzz is super fast,

Super fun,

And sometimes a bit too bouncy for his own good.

Just like you,

Buzz has a superpower brain,

But sometimes it's so full of ideas that it's hard to slow down or focus on just one thing.

So Buzz made up a secret trick to help himself out when he feels wiggly,

Distracted,

Or ready to jump without thinking.

Wanna know what it is?

It's the Buzz trick,

B-U-Z-Z.

Let's learn it together.

B is for breathe.

Buzz says,

When my brain feels bouncy,

I stop and take one big belly breath.

Let's try it.

Ready?

Inhale.

Fill your belly like a balloon.

Exhale,

Nice and slow.

Ah,

That helps Buzz.

And you,

Slow down.

U is for use your eyes and ears.

Buzz says,

I look around and I listen up.

What's happening around me right now?

Can you use your owl eyes and your fox ears?

Look,

What do you see around you?

Listen,

What do you hear?

That helps you pay attention and be ready.

Z is for zip your thoughts.

Buzz says,

My brain's buzzing with ideas,

But if I'm supposed to listen or wait,

I zip my thoughts and save them for later.

Can you pretend to zip your lips like a jacket?

Zip.

Now your brain is still working,

But you're waiting for your turn like a focusing superhero.

Z is also for zoom in.

Buzz says,

Now that I'm calm,

I can zoom in like a laser on the one thing I need to do.

Maybe it's listening to your teacher or finishing your drawing or brushing your teeth without dancing in the mirror.

Buzz tries that too.

So let's remember Buzz's trick.

Say it with me.

B,

Breathe.

U,

Use your eyes and ears.

Z,

Zip your thoughts.

Z,

Zoom in.

And guess what?

Every time you try it,

Your brain gets stronger.

You're not too much,

You're powerful,

Just like Buzz.

So next time your brain feels buzz,

Buzz,

Buzzy,

Take a moment and do the Buzz.

B-U-Z-Z.
