3rd Grade Literature Handouts

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
