Shapes are all around us, and we can even make shapes with our bodies.

For years I’ve taught this class to toddlers, preschoolers and kindergarteners. It’s perfect for early childhood or group where big kids support younger kids. If you have mixed ages, or are working with first or second graders, you can make it interesting by focusing on the number of sides in a shape and placing the poses in order based on the number of sides in the shape.

Remember to have fun, allow for mistakes, review the shapes and poses in a light hearted way, and make the children feel like shapes, math, and yoga are their friends.

Let’s Make Shapes! is a 6-page PDF download that you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print to paper.

This activity packet includes:

• Shapes Yoga poster
• Detailed instruction for the yoga poses, written for kids
• Worksheet related to shapes
