Less than $5 2nd Grade Physical Education Activities

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

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?
