One of the favorite yoga games of young children in our classes is a twist on the classic game “Simon Says.”
In this version, instead of Simon, it’s “Yogi” and we do whatever pose Yoga Says. If Yogi doesn’t say, don’t do the pose! Children love the opportunity to pick their own poses and be in charge. And of course, trying to trick others into doing a pose when yogi didn’t say!
This is also great game to try at home with your children as a way of introducing them to yoga. If you or your child are not familiar with yoga poses, you can check out these great yoga pose card decks (we use both of them in our kids yoga classes!) to learn the poses and then play the game:
