mat hop

Place mats in a horizontal line and put a yoga flashcard on each mat. The kids get on a mat and do the pose on the flashcard, holding the pose until you chime a bell. When the bell chimes, they HOP to the next mat, doing the next pose. 

The hardest part of getting kids to do yoga is getting them to hold a pose. It's hard for them to sit still and they like to quit easily if they are using muscles they don't normally use. Mat hop is a great way to get them holding a posture, because they can't come out of the pose until the bell chimes.
