Games in Yoga

Welcome! I wanted to be able to tell you a little about what we are learning in yoga class. Here are some activities and games the children enjoy.

Move, Freeze and Melt Game.

In a large circle, we all move clockwise. The leader calls out an animal or a character to imitate. Elephants, monkeys, soldiers, slow-motion people to name a few. Then the leader yells, "Freeze." The children stop and the leader says, "Melt." The children melt slowly to the floor. The leader says, "Reverse," and the children move counter clock-wise and the leader yells out a new character to imitate.

This game helps with large muscle groups, listening, and following directions. Also, it is a great imagination game as the children all come up with a new character to imitate. Lots of fun!!!
