A fun and easy way to introduce yoga to young kids, especially in their first session, is by talking about animals they know.
 
Ask the kids if they have ever been to a farm.
 
(Show a picture / drawing of a farm)
 
Ask the children what animals they can expect to see on a farm. They will start by telling you the animals they saw in the picture, but eventually they might get creative and mention other animals or things they can recall seeing on a farm.
 
Did you know that we can make shapes with our bodies to imitate the animals we see on a farm? Do you want to try?
 
(Show a picture of each animal from the cards before performing the pose)
