The one thing I always use in my kids yoga lessons

🤔Anyone else have an unhealthy obsession with yoga cards?
 
I have bought (and since sold!) pretty much every type that there is going!
In the end, I created my own because the ones that I had were either

• Too small in size for my big classes to really find useful.
• Too small in number of poses, so I had to combine cards from different decks, but that was confusing because the same pose had different names.

Or

• They were large enough but I didn’t find the pictures representative of the children in my classes, the kids couldn’t ‘see themselves’ in them. Which is really important to me.

Anyway, I LOVE my cards -I call them well-being cards because:

• They have so many different ideas on the back that aren’t just yoga.
• Some people have a tricky relationship with the word ‘yoga’ and their perception of it as a religion. I want my resources to be inclusive for everyone!

 
They are my number 1 prop and I use them in EVERY lesson.
 
Here’s why I think yoga / well-being cards are AWESOME and why you should consider using them in your kids classes (if you don’t already!)

Engage, excite and build safety
The children shown on the cards become familiar characters and part of the shared experience of the lesson. In my own classes, children have favourites- because of the clothes they are wearing, or the way that it reminds them of themselves or someone they know.
This familiarity helps to build on a feeling of safety. Having cards as part of the structure of the lesson builds predictability into the class, helping many children feel reassured. 

Valuable visual image
Whether the child is doing the version of the pose that is shown or not, having an image to attach the learning to is REALLY important.
As educators, we should be providing our lessons in a number of different ways to help different learners to remember and make sense of what we are teaching.
Having an image to ‘tag’ the learning to supports everyone. Children who have learning needs or language barriers especially benefit from having visual aids to support them.
 
Useful learning tool
The cards themselves are really useful to support children’s learning. The children can hold the cards and organise them to help them plan how a sequence may look. Students can compare poses, looking at the way the children in the images are holding there bodies. There are also numerous games that you can play using the cards.
