I'm excited to share an episode from one of my podcast friends, Dorktales Storytime Podcast! This is the perfect story right now because it's all about going back to school and the worries that might come up during this time.  Enjoy and keep your ears open for a familiar voice! :)   BIG BAD GOES BACK TO SCHOOL     Dorktales Podcast: Episode 74  Big Bad Goes Back To School  Overcoming New School Year Anxiety A new school year has begun, and Big Bad Wolf is experiencing back-to-school jitters. He’s worried his wolf classmates will continue to make fun of him over his embarrassing incident during last year’s howl-at-the-moon final exam. Enter his Folktale Forest friends, including Serena the Capybara. They talk him through his new class nerves and guide him back to his calm, cool and collected canine self—sending him off with the confidence he needs to become a Master Howler! PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS: As back-to-school season approaches, it’s not uncommon for young minds to be filled with a mixture of excitement and anxiety. In Big Bad goes Back to School, these worries take center stage, only to be met with empathy and understanding. The lessons that emerge from this story provide comfort, encouragement, and tools for navigating the overwhelming feelings that can happen when a new school year begins. The episode includes two guided mindfulness exercises. Read more about the 5 social-emotional lessons kids will take away after listening to the episode. If you liked this story with Big Bad and Serena the caring capybara, you may also enjoy episode 49, Big Bad’s Big Feelings, where you’ll discover more mindfulness exercises to help kids self-regulate their anxious feelings.

Kaala & Chuff Look to the Past to See the Future

What’s friendship without a little FUN? Chuff helps her friends out today by getting them to relax and have fun together. In this episode, we play a game I call “Sound Story.” You’ll hear these sound effects: rain, birds, bubbles, ice cream truck, friendly robot, children laughing, twinkling, and a “boing” sound.     How to play “Sound Story”:  You can find some free audio sound effect files here and here. It would be fun to make your own sound effects (tapping your knees, rubbing hands together, crinkling paper, etc.).   Make or play a few sound effects. Fewer sounds for younger children, add more sounds for older children.  The listener can close their eyes and listen to the sounds. Repeat them in the same order if they want to hear them again.  Ask the listener to tell you a story based on the sounds they just heard.  Switch and let them choose some sounds for you to use to create your own Sound Story! 😊    Please note: If you are doing this with your class, be mindful that children who have experienced trauma may be hypersensitive to sounds. For this episode I tried to choose “friendly” and neutral sounds and have listed them above to give listeners a heads up of what to expect. This may be something to consider for this game.     Follow Peace Out on your favourite podcast app so you don’t miss an episode!

Intro: Kaala & Chuff’s Excellent Adventure (start here!)

I&#39;m excited to share &quot;Big Bad&#39;s Big Feelings&quot; from Dorktales Storytime Podcast. I love their fun and funny take on fairytales and their original characters and stories too. Check out their other stories in the links below!  Thank you to the whole DT team with special thanks to Jodi, Jonathan, Molly, and Amy for being so welcoming and kind. Some Peace Out updates and news in the intro. You can also keep in touch by subscribing to our mailing list.  Hope you enjoy this story as much as I enjoyed being part of it!  Peace out and peace within, Chanel  From the Dorktales Storytime Podcast show notes: Annoyed and anxious and angry, oh my! Looks like our friends from the Folktale Forest are on an emotional roller coaster, especially the Big Bad Wolf. He&#39;s so upset, he just wants to howl at the moon! Luckily, they encounter a caring capybara who patiently helps them sort through their big feelings and calm themselves down. Join Jonathan, Redge, and Big Bad as they learn how to understand one another, and huff and puff their stress away.  PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS: Recognizing overwhelming feelings is one of the first steps towards feeling better and managing stress. This is an original story that helps kids learn how to self-regulate. It covers many coping strategies and ends with a mindfulness exercise that will help young people move through their anxious feelings.

Presenting Dorktales Storytime: Big Bad's Big Feelings

During our recent Ocean Adventure season, we talked about some very awesome and unique creatures and plants that live in the ocean. One thing that any animal lover (or anyone living on earth) needs to learn more about is how to stop plastic pollution. Plastic pollution not only hurts ocean life, but it hurts the whole earth. So I am sharing my podfriend Cool Facts About Animals, a podcast by kids for kids! This is their episode called “How Kids Can Stop Plastic Pollution.” I love how the kids talk to experts about everyday ways we can help! Since Peace Out is in between seasons right now, for updates follow us on social media, subscribe to the podcast on your app, and join our mailing list too  Subscribe to Cool Facts About Animals for more fun episodes about animals! From their original episode description: In this episode, we learn about how much plastic is in the ocean, why that’s a problem for animals, how it all got there, and, most importantly, how you can help.   We talked to so many experts to make this episode.
