So how to go about it?
Sit the children down or, alternatively, get them to lie down. Then ask them to breathe in through the nose with a long and deep inhale.
Next they breathe out through the mouth with a hissing sound, slow and long. With each hissing snake exhale, ask the children to see if they can hiss even slower to make their exhale last even longer.
As you can imagine, (and if you try this yourself you'll see!), this is great for slowing children down, and calming them both mentally and physically.
