Focus & Calm6 min Low None

Slow Motion Walk

The whole class moves through the room in extreme slow motion.

Shifts the nervous system from reactive to deliberate — students arrive at their seats genuinely calmer.

Instructions

Everyone stands up and begins moving through the room in extreme slow motion — every movement deliberate and controlled. No talking. Try to move without making any sound. After 3 minutes, gradually speed up to normal pace. Debrief: what did you notice that you usually miss?
