Milo's Mood

(set: $hasKet to false) # Milo's Mood Quest by Margaret Hi, i'm the creator of Milos Mood Quest! I like making stories that help kids learn about feelings in a fun way. In my free time, i enjoy watching movies, listening to music, reading and spending time with family and friends. I made this game to show that it's okay to have different emotions and that you are never alone. [[Start.]]

Milo wandered into the meadow, where soft grass tickled his paws. He spoted Bella the Bunny near a patch of daises by the pond, hopping in circles and humming a little tune. " Hi Milo. You look a (text-colour:green)[[little down]]. You dont look like your usual bouncy self. Want to do a happy-hop [[race?]]"

Milo sat next to Bella on the soft grass. " i just feel weird. Not teally sad but not (text-colour:green)[[happy]] either. It's like a (text-colour:green)[[twisty]] storm in my belly." Bella nodded. "I feel like that some times too. It helps me when i say it out loud or talk to a friend. i am really glad you told me" They sat together and Milo's tummy felt less twisty now. "Thanks, Bella. i feel a little lighter now" Milo says and heads towards the wispering [[woods. ]]

Milo looks at Bella but just gave a little shake of his head. "I'm fine" he muttered, and walked past. Bella gave him a little smile. "Okay. If you ever want to talk, I'm here." Milos tummy still felt (text-colour:green)[[twisty]]. Maybe he should've said something but he just wasn't ready so he keeps walking towards the wispering [[woods. ]]

Milo shakes his head "I didn't feel like brething right now.Maybe next time i'll be ready." Milo said quietly. Ollie nodded "That's okay, Milo. Sometimes we are just not ready. But if you want to try again i will be here. Milo walked away still feeling a bit off but knowing his friend cared then he met [[Benny.]]

Milo takes three slow, deep breaths with Ollie. "Okay follow me in through the nose... hold it... and out through the mouth Milo giggled and joind in. They breathed together slowly. 1... 2... 3... "Hey that actually helped! My chest feels less heavy now." Ollie smiled "Told ya! Breathing helps me too when i feel (text-colour:green)[[nervous]] or (text-colour:green)[[upset.]]" " Thanks that helped. My (text-colour:green)[[twisty]] tummy is calming down."Milo replied and continues walking where he meets [[Benny.]]

He sat up on his bed and looks out the window. the sun was shining, the birds where singing, but some thing still didn't feel right inside. "Maybe is i go outside, i can figure out what is going on" He decides to go on a little walk to figure out his(text-colour:green) [[feelings]] on hope to get better. Where should Milo go? Go to the [[river.]] Go to the [[meadow.]]

Milo races with Bella through the flowers. the wind rushes past his ears, and he giggles. But afterward, the (text-colour:green)[[twisty]] (text-colour:green)[[feelings]] comes back "that was fun, but i still feel [[funny.]] " Bella pats his paw. "Maybe you need more than running. Talking helps me is something bothering you?" Bella said tilting her head.

Milo ignors Ollie and goes to goes to have a [[swim]] in the river. He laughs and plays, It's fun but afterwards, he still feels a bit off "That was silly but i still feel a bit (text-colour:green)[[twisty]]." Ollie chuckles. "Fun helps. Talking and breathig helps too."

Milo pasued. He didn't really know what was wrong, just that he felt a bit strange and a bit (text-colour:green)[[sad]]. " I don't know why i feel like this today" Milo says " I feel (text-colour:green)[[sad]] to some times. i like to sit and talk about it. Do you want to talk about it?." Bella says "[[Yes]], i want to talk about it" Milo says and Bella listens. Milo feels a bit better. " [[No]], i want to keep walking" Milo says. Milo thanks Bella and keep walking.

Milo shruuged. His tummy still felt thight and he wasn't sure why. "You know what helps me when i feel like that?" Ollie asked. "Breathing. Want to try three deep belly breaths with me?" Ollie ask's Milo trys [[brething]] with Ollie Milo says "No thanks" and keeps [[walking]]

In the woods Milo finds Max the Fox and Pip the Parrot playing a game. "Wanna guess the (text-colour:green)[[feelings]] on my face?" Max says "It's the Guess-a-Feeling Game!" says Pip What should Milo do? [[Join the feelings game.]] [[Make silly faces.]] [[Wave goodbye and keep walking.]]

They take turns making feeling faces( (text-colour:green)[[sad]], (text-colour:green)[[excited]],(text-colour:green)[[nervous]].) "This is fun and i think i'm feeling (text-colour:green)[[worried]] today." Mio says "That's okay. Naming it helps!" Milo keeps walking and meets [[Tilly.]]

Everyone makes the silliest faces they can. Pip squawks with laughter. "That made me giggle. I feel a little better now." Milo says and keeps walking the he met [[Tilly.]]

Milo decides he dosn't want to play any games so he keeps walking and he met [[Tilly.]]

Under a big shady tree, Tilly the Turtle is meditating. "Want to sit and breath with me? Or just rest?" What should Milo do? [[Try the breathing exercise.]] [[Ask how she stays calm]] [[Keep moving on.]]

Milo sits. They breath "In like you're smelling flowers and out like you are blowing bubbles." 1... 2... 3... His body softens. The twistiness fades a little then he keeps walking towards the [[bridge.]]

Tilly shares her "calm kit" Breathing Drawing Gentle stretches Snuggle breaks Milo adds"snuggle breaks" to his list. He thanks Tilly for her advice and keeps walking towards the [[bridge.]]

Milo reaches the wodden bridge. a sign reads: "Cross when your heart feels ready." Milo thinks of all his friends... Bella, Max, Pip, Tilly, Benny, Luna. What should Milo do? [[Take a breath and cross the bridge.]] [[Sit quietly and try again tomorrow.]]

Benny the Grasshopper is jumping in the grass! "Hey Milo! Sometimes i bounce the big (text-colour:green)[[feelings]] out. Wanna try?" What should Milo do? [[Jump and stomp it out.]] [[Talk about what makes you feel twisty.]] [[Walk quietly past.]]

Milo bounces, hops, and laughs! He feels his body lighten. "That helped! My (text-colour:green)[[feelings]] feel less heavy." Milo says and keeps walking where he met [[Luna.]]

"Sometimes i feel (text-colour:green)[[twisty]] for no reason" Milo tells Benny "That's okay. Feelings Don't need a reason. Just care." Milo thanks Benny for the talk and continues walking where he met [[Luna.]]

Milo tells Benny he dosn't want to jump and stomp so he keeps walking and he met [[Luna.]]

Luna the Cat is curled up with a book and a cup of warm milk. "Need a snuggle break or a story? I've got both" What should Milo do? [[Snuggle with Luna and rest.]] [[Ask her to read you a story about feelings.]] [[Say thank you and move on.]]

Milo lays next to Luna. She purrs. His (text-colour:green)[[twisty]] feeling melts into sleepy (text-colour:green)[[calm]] then after a while of snuggling he heads to the [[bridge.]]

Luna reads a story about a (text-colour:green)[[nervous]] bear who finds his courage. "I feel like that bear. It's okay to feel unsure and still be brave." Milo comments and heads towards the [[bridge.]]
