Holiday Yoga Fun: The 12 Days of Yoga Game/Song

A Crowd Pleaser

Whether you are a parent, yoga teacher, or sibling, aunt, uncle, friend of a child, this classic yoga game is an all time favorite of children.

Inclusive Family Fun

Challenging enough to keep big kids interested, and sweet and fun enough for young children, it can be an inclusive activity for all ages and abilities. If someone can't do poses, they can sing. If they can't sing, they can try to do poses. If they'd prefer, they can show the cards. Everyone can participate in their own ay.

Pointers:

1. Sing the 12-Days of Christmas song at the slow pace to allow for the transition from one pose to another.
2. Practice each pose individually before you put them all together.
3. Drink water after you play.
4. Praise the effort not the perfection of the poses or order of poses. All kids have different strengths.

Everyone can sing along to the word of this classic song. Even in my non-Christian household, we love this activity, song, and sequence.
