Make shapes fun with yoga!

Can I tell you what a blast my students, ages 3-6, had with this unit in camp? We were searching the room for the shapes from each pose. We found dozens of shapes. The tables were circles. The doors were rectangles. The tiles were squares. Everyone was elated. Children that never speak were counting the sides of each shape in their mother tongue, feeling so proud. The lesson took on a life of its own. The children were talking about shapes the next time I saw them. They INSISTED we do the lesson again!

Shapes are all around us, and we can even make shapes with our bodies. Enjoy this fun activity our founder has been doing in classes since 2009! For years I’ve taught this class to toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergarteners. It’s the perfect way to get kids excited about math and shapes!
