Children Massaging Children programme

Children Massaging Children programme has been designed for primary school teachers, taking into account HAUORA (a New Zealand term for physical, emotional, spiritual and social well-being). It is a structured massage lesson based on three songs with three different massage techniques; back, hand and head massage. Within this 45-minute lesson, children massage each other under supervision of a Child Connection Certified Facilitator.

• Relieve stress
• Create happy and healthy school atmosphere
