12 Days of Christmas Yoga Cards
By Lara Hocheiser
Sing and flow through one of our favorite yoga holiday songs!
This activity was one I did when I first started teaching yoga to children. When I noticed how mystified the children were with the holiday season, a colleague of mine suggested pairing a pose with each of the 12 Days of Christmas. You can play the song alone, you can sing the song as you do the poses, or you can practice the poses one at a time and simply enjoy the song afterward.
It’s super fun to try to remember which pose goes with which verse and to have the children attempt to teach it back in order.
If you’re concerned about this material not being secular, use caution. This is best practiced in environments where mentioning and celebrating Christmas is welcomed.
Printable Christmas Yoga CardsSing along and learn twelve (12) yoga poses. Print and cut out our twelve (12) yoga cards and use them in the classroom, yoga studio, or at home! Also included are written instructions for kids, giving cues for children to correctly practice each pose. And additional yoga card games that kids will love!
Mindfulness, Crafts, and Coloring Pages for Kids
Use our mindfulness activities, crafts, and coloring pages when kids need a moment to be calm and focused. We created holiday-themed activities that kids can enjoy in their free time, as brain breaks, transitional activities and more.
This packet includes:
Twelve (12) printable yoga cards
Five (5) holiday mindfulness activities
How-to instruction for each activity, written for kids
Five (5) holiday-themed coloring pages
Journaling pages with prompts for kids
12 Days of Yoga is a 37 page PDF download that you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print to paper.
