Variations:
You can be more specific when naming categories. For example, you can use basketball as a
category instead of sports. This will allow the students to focus on specific movements in one
specific sport instead of trying to think too long about a sport.
2. Anticipatory Set:
(3-5 minutes)
Ask students for what activities they know of that require balance and body control. Show
images of famous athletes, dancers, and Olympic athletes that use yoga or have a history of
yoga or gymnastics in order to maintain their fitness. Ask students if they could be in those
positions one day? What would the students want to be when they grow up? And you can
help them reach those goals by improving their balance and body awareness. Explain to
students that by the end of the class period they will individually be able to complete their
second day of yoga poses and maintain two poses for over 20 seconds. They will start by
practicing the tree pose in the following activity.
3. Demonstrate the yoga "tree" pose. Balance on one leg while drawing the other leg up
and resting it on standing leg by the knee. Arms or "branches" may rise up into the air
above head with palms touching, or stretch out to the sides for added balance.
Incorporate a game of Simon Says and review poses from the previous lesson while also
adding in the new tree poses that were just demonstrated.
4. Practice Activity:
(3-5 minutes)
Tree Dancing
Play the song "Tree Dancing" by Tickle Tune Typhoon. Kids can dance around the room or
outside of their yoga mats swaying their "branches" (arms) and tapping their "roots" (toes).
When teacher stops the song, children freeze in the yoga "tree" pose and try to keep their
balance. Switch legs each time you pause the music. Encourage children to have strong
"trunks" and hold their pose steady as a tree.
5. Application: (7-10 minutes)
Students will be placed in pre-determined groups and will be asked to get into those groups
as quickly as possible. Then tell the students that in their group the must decide on a nursery
rhyme to use in a presentation. Each group must sing/say the nursery rhyme as a group, and
must incorporate both the yoga pose learned in the previous lesson, and the tree pose, into
their presentation. Students will sing/speak the rhyme while maintaining the poses. Everyone
in the group must attempt both of the yoga poses before the completion of the rhyme.
Students will count and keep track of the number of times they lose control of a pose while
reciting/singing a nursery rhyme.
Demonstration: The teacher will show an example of what he/she expects all the groups to
present to the class. The students cannot use the nursery rhyme that the teacher uses.
Check for Understanding: Ask: Does each person in the group have to perform a yoga pose
during the rhyme? How many yoga poses does each person need to perform?

Reminders: If directions/feedback needed during this time make sure to pull students in
quickly, make sure students arent moving, make sure everyone can hear, and get them back
to practice quickly.
6. Yoga Showcase:
(3-5 minutes)
Returning to the activity and yoga pose from the previous lesson, students will demonstrate
as a whole class the pose from the previous day. The class will perform the pose either in
groups or as a class to make the activity as fair as possible. Provides the teacher with a quick
check for understanding on the learning from both this lesson and the previous lesson.
