How to Play Silly Train: Yoga Game for Children:

Number of Players: 3+

Materials: None

Recommended Ages: 3-8

• Select a pose from the Kids Yoga Challenge Pose Cards. This will be your Go-To Pose for the Game.
• Have all of the students line up behind the leader in one straight line.
• The leader shows the selected yoga pose and ever everyone practices it.
• When the leader is ready to start, they will lead the train around the room.
• The passengers or people following will dance or move as silly as they can, while staying in line
• When the leader turns around, everyone must instantly go into the selected pose. Take turns by changing train leaders.

This is lots of fun and the kids love the opportunity to just be silly while moving their bodies.

Leader Notes:

• Play some music for added fun.
• Change up the Yoga Poses to keep everyone on their toes while learning and practicing a variety of poses.
• Adults make sure you join in as well (even when you are not the leader). Kids love to see you be silly too!
