Jellyfish Jellyfish 1-2-3: Rhyme, Craft, and Deep Breathing Exercise
Ms. Christina shares her original action rhyme, “Jellyfish Jellyfish 1-2-3.” You can make your own deep breathing jellyfish at home with a paper plate cut in half; pieces of paper, yarn, or string; tape or glue; and markers, crayons, or stickers.
Lyrics:
Jellyfish, jellyfish, 1-2-3
Jellyfish, jellyfish, wave to me

One
[Blow across the jellyfish’s tentacles the other way]
Two
[Blow across the jellyfish’s tentacles the original way]
Three
[Repeat until calm!]
