FREE MISC. LESSON - “Positive Visualization Meditation and Inspirational Writing Activity”

by English with Ease
2nd - 12th Grade

Enjoy this positive visualization and inspirational writing prompt activity for kids or adults of any age to practice meditation, mindfulness and journaling.

Free for a limited time!

Pair this stress-reducing activity with my first children's book, One Wave.

CLICK HERE to buy the book or read it for FREE as a Kindle Unlimited user!

https://amzn.to/39dmQSd

My book, One Wave, and this accompanying activity teaches children:

"Just as a wave is one withe the ocean, you are one with the universe."

One Wave will bring joy and understanding to kids who have lost a loved one, and inspire others to live with purpose without having to first learn the hard way through trauma and grief. The book and accompanying activity can also be used as an easy way to introduce conversations about death, loss, spirituality, mindfulness, meditation and manifestation, or a simple no prep positive visualization, meditation, and inspirational writing prompt classroom activity for students from elementary, middle to high school.

FREE MISC. LESSON - “My Aunt Came Back Lyric & Coloring Sheet FREEBIE | Elementary Music Grades K-2”

by Beth at Sweetly Sings the Songbird
Kindergarten - 2nd Grade

Looking for a simple companion activity to pair with My Aunt Came Back by John Feierabend? This FREE lyric and coloring sheet is the perfect extension to this beloved singable book, helping students engage with the song long after the story ends. While it's especially fitting for back-to-school elementary music lessons, this printable can be used any time of year to reinforce the lyrics through coloring, singing, and active listening.

Perfect for Grades K-2, this printable reinforces the song while encouraging active listening, audiation, and joyful singing in your music classroom.

✨ What's Included:

1 printable lyric + coloring sheet for My Aunt Came Back
Black-and-white PDF for easy printing

❤️ Why You'll Love It:

Perfect companion activity for My Aunt Came Back by John Feierabend
Reinforces song lyrics through coloring and repeated exposure
Supports audiation and listening skills
Encourages confident singing in a low-pressure, engaging way
Great for back-to-school music lessons, sub plans, early finishers, or take-home practice
No prep—just print and go!

✏️ Standards-Based:

This activity supports the National Core Arts Standards by helping students:

Sing independently and with others using an appropriate singing voice.
Demonstrate and describe musical ideas through singing and listening.
Develop audiation, musical memory, and active listening skills.

☕️ Teacher Tip:

Pair this coloring sheet with a read-aloud of My Aunt Came Back and an echo-singing lesson. The repetitive format naturally invites even reluctant singers to participate, making it one of my favorite singable books for the first weeks of school. Be sure to check out the free accompaniment and vocal recordings available from GIA Music to make teaching the song even easier!
