You Are a LION! And Other Fun Yoga Poses is a great little book that introduces easy yoga poses in a literary way. The book give children the chance to do yoga poses that are named after animals like lions, frogs, butterflies and more. It is written like a story and I think that it would be fun for young children in kindergarten through first grade.
I think this book would be a fantastic way to introduce literacy into content areas like PE. I think that this book could be used by a PE teacher to have the kids stretch or by a classroom teacher who would like to incorporate movement into her classroom. I think that the yoga move would be fun for children as well as a way to relax them.
This sounds like it would be a really fun book to use. I think I could use it to get the kids moving during a reading activity. What is also is nice is that it uses animals, and what little kid doesn't like animals.
ReplyDeleteI love the front cover. I agree with you, based on your description, it sounds like this would be a perfect book for the younger grades. If not in their actual PE class, it would also be a good fit for any other time throughout the day to add in a little bit of movement.
