#YOGA CHALLENGE OOPS HOW TO#
How to play: You can do freeze dance yoga-style. There is something about anxiously waiting for the music to stop that brings excitement and laughter to children. It's the game where children get to let loose, shake, twist, turn ,and dance to their favorite tunes and then without any notice, they have to stop their body or freeze when the music stops. It also supports memory when recalling certain poses and to practice motor control.Īlmost every child loves freeze dance. What they learn: This game supports children in their self-control and listening skills. Tips: Keep the pace of the game moving. Let them be leaders once they know some of the poses and actions. Make sure they keep their bodies in their own space or on their own yoga mat If you don’t say “Yogi Says,” first, then the students who did the action are “out.” BUT they don’t have to sit down. It’s better if you just go “Oohhhh, I got you!” or “Oops! Yogi didn’t say!!!” and then let them stay standing. At least for the first few rounds and until they get really good at it.

How to play: Tell kids they have to do what you do, but ONLY if “Yogi Says.” Then you proceed to say either “Yogi says _ (action word).” Or just say ” _ (action word).” This is a simple play on Simon Says, with yoga poses!
