This week, we focused on developing our mindful listening skills. Here we learned how we can use our breath to focus and calm our minds, so we can mindfully listen.
With Easter around the corner, we played a fun egg shaker game called "Match the Sound", which put their listening skills to a test. This game is a fun way to encourage kids to listen attentively, as they try and figure out subtle variations in sounds.
The first part of the game they had to listen mindfully and match up the eggs that made the same sound. The second part of the game they had a chance to match up the sounds with the objects. Every-time, we guessed an object we did a corresponding yoga pose with it.
Suggested Activity: You can also use various treats and play the same game and have kids match up the sounds. Add a corresponding yoga pose or activity, such as hop like a bunny 5 times, flap your wings like a butterfly etc, once they guess the sounds with the objects. It will be a fun way to get them moving and enjoying their easter treats.
