1st Grade Physical Education Games

Move and breathe through a childhood classic. The Napping House by Don and Audrey Wood has been a favorite story in my classes for years, and with a librarian’s suggestion, I brought it to life through yoga for the first time in 2012. Now accompanied by our beautiful illustrations, we can use this yoga sequence to promote a lifelong love of learning, reading, and healthy habits.

Each of the characters in the story is paired with a yoga pose, and each page adds another character in order. As the sequence builds, the poses come together in a beautiful flow. Do the poses as you read, or read and then do the poses—whatever feels the best to you.

This lesson plan is a perfect resource for teachers, parents or clinicians who want bring the story to life with movement. We’ve included a story script and a list of poses so children can learn the yoga sequence.

The Napping House Literacy Integration is a 14-page PDF download that you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print to paper.
This download contains the following:

• The Napping House Lesson Plan designed for kids ages 4-10

• List of yoga poses, props and key themes that relate to the story

• Story script to read along with The Napping House

• Guided relaxation, meditation script, crafts, and group activities

• The Napping House yoga sequence poster, with nine (9) poses

I am a preschool teacher and certified yoga instructor. I designed this game to be versatile for use in both my preschool classes (with picture dice) and my kids yoga classes (with yoga pose dice).

I have included both sets of dice that I use in my classes. However, I do not recommend using the kids yoga dice unless you have prior training on how to safely guide the children into the yoga poses.

How to Assemble the Dice

1. Cut the outside lines.

2. Fold along all lines.

3. Glue or tape the tabs into place (I like to use double-sided tape).

How to Play

Yoga Version:

Roll the dice and instruct the children how to

safely move into the yoga poses.

Classroom Version:

1. Roll the dice.

2. Lead an open discussion about the animal that lands facing up.

Suggested Questions:

Have they ever seen the animal in real life?

What does the animal eat?

Is it a predator or prey?

Where does it live?

When does it like to sleep?

Does it have any special characteristics or qualities?

Would they like to have this animal for a pet?

What color is this animal?

Is it big or small?

What noise does it make?

Does it hibernate?

What would they do if they saw this animal?
