This EXCITING bundle includes three kids yoga story scripts about kindness, acceptance, forgiveness, inclusion, and compassion. Kids yoga story scripts are also a great way to combine literacy with physical fitness while using a familiar story kids love!

Stories are a SUPER FUN tool that helps kids yoga instructors, parents, and educators/librarians with basic knowledge of kids yoga poses to easily incorporate yoga, mindfulness, and self-regulation skills help young children develop strong social-emotional foundations.

Each story is designed to help young children develop valuable learning lessons and life skills:

✨ The Ugly Duckling ✨

✔ It’s important to keep trying, even if something seems too hard.

✔ It’s good to show kindness to others and be nice.

✔ Just because someone is different, it doesn’t mean we can’t be friends with them.

✔ We should never judge anyone until we get a chance to know them.

✨ Jack & the Beanstalk ✨

✔ It’s important to make decisions that keep us safe.

✔ We should always listen to our parents and teachers.

✔ It’s good to show kindness to others when they need help.

✔ We never go anywhere unless we have our parent’s or teacher’s permission.

✨ The Littlest Lion ✨
✔ Sometimes things seem very hard, but we should still keep trying.

✔ We should always try our best to show kindness toward others.

✔ Even someone that is very little can make a big difference.

✔ Just because someone is different, it doesn’t mean we can’t be friends with them.
