Winter Animals

Description

It might be cold outside, but you’ll stay warm with an active Next Generation Yoga Lesson Plan, “Winter Animals.” Discover how animals behave during the winter months with this educational and fun lesson plan.

Winter Animals for 2-7 year olds: Hibernate like a bear, adapt like a rabbit, and fly south like a bird with kid-friendly Yoga poses and creative movements. Children will experience how animals’ behaviors change during the winter season through fun, educational facts, and age-appropriate craft and family partner poses.

Winter Animals for 8-13 year olds: Through traditional Yoga poses and creative movements, children will migrate like a Monarch Butterfly, hibernate like a frog and stay warm like a Snowshoe Rabbit. Theme-appropriate musical recommendations, meditation ideas, and a guided visualization help children dive even deeper into the winter animal experience.
