Bingo Yoga

September 27, 2018 by Stacy Menz

We love yoga! We talked a little about some of the ways we do yoga with our kids in this post. Warning – it may look different than any yoga practice you’ve done!

In addition the benefits for the mind, we love the way yoga impacts the body. We utilize it to help kids work on:

  • balance
  • range of motion
  • flexibility
  • strength
  • body awareness
  • coordination and motor planning
  • muscular endurance

Recently we incorporated a new yoga game – Bingo Yoga! Read along to find out how you can do this at home.

Supplies:

  • Bingo board (can be hand drawn)
  • Choosing system – can be yoga dice, yoga spinner, yoga cards, pieces of paper in a bucket
  • Markers, chips, dabbers (anything to mark off the bingo board)

Set-up and gameplay:

  • Have your bingo board ready and chips or markers ready to go
  • Have a child select the yoga pose by rolling the dice, spinning the spinner, pulling a card, etc
  • Everyone performs the pose (the child who picked the pose gets to mark it off on their board)
  • You can pick the goal for completion – 5 in a row, the whole board covered, 4 corners, etc

Here is an example of a Bingo board we made:

Have fun and we’d love to hear your ideas for fun ways to do yoga!

What Clients Are Saying

We have been working with Starfish Therapies over the last year, and my four year-old has made incredible progress in her gross motor development. Stacy has an amazing ability to work with children. She uses her energy, humor and creativity to make children laugh and play, and at the same time work very hard.”
