The Counseling Office Sensory Activity Challenge – Students are encouraged to participate in sensory activities as a great way to reduce stress. These activities engage your senses (sight, smell, taste, and touch) and can include things like rocking in a glider, petting a dog or cat, playing an instrument, gardening, baking, reading, drawing, or playing a sport. Many of these simple daily activities help us manage stress without even realizing it. Stop by the Counseling Office to check out our bulletin board and pick a leaf with a sensory activity idea. Take it home, try the activity, and snap a photo of yourself doing it! You may take one leaf at a time. Show us your photo (either on your phone or by email), and your name will be entered into a drawing for a gift card on Tuesday, November 11.
