This activity will help your students to get a positive and calm state of mind to be ready to learn.

Have the students sit down at their desk with their heads lying on their arms and tell them to follow your instructions:

1. Close your eyes
2. Concentrate on your breathing as you breathe in and out,.....in and out
3. Do not try to control your breathing, just monitor it
4. If another thought appears in your mind, just let it go away
5. In your mind, only think about your breathing
6. Each time you will feel better and better and more relaxed
7. Now, think about one country you would like to go.
8. Imagine a picture of that country
9. Include yourself in that picture.

After a minute tell your students open their eyes and invite volunteers to say the chosen country.
