3rd Grade Physical Education Games

Happy Halloween! Children look forward to Halloween to explore the world of all that is scary in a safe way. The Spooky Walk is a call-and-response style seated marching yoga game to get kids in the Halloween spirit. It has been one of the most popular activities of all my years of teaching. I hope you love it!

When we do this song and game, we get to explore the emotion of being afraid in a safe space. You can take the time to explain that it’s all pretend and give kids practice with the vocabulary related Halloween and being afraid. Words such as scary, ghost, escape, safety, and pretend are all good words to practice prior to this activity. If you have very young or extra sensitive kids, please take the time to make sure they feel safe and know this is just pretend prior to starting. 
Spooky Halloween also contains Halloween-themed activities including activities, games and crafts to get into the Halloween spirit! Learn nine yoga poses and spooky breathing exercises. To get those creative juices flowing, we’ve included five coloring pages.
Spooky Halloween is a 15-page PDF download that you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print out onto paper.

• Designed for kids ages 2-10
• The Spooky Walk call-and-response game and instructions
• Halloween-themed activities including breathing exercises, crafts, and group activities

In yoga, the Yamas & Niyamas are a moral code of conduct, a guideline for how to live. Together, the Yamas & Niyamas help us to make careful decisions about how to think, speak, and behave. This foundational thinking prepares children to form healthy relationships with themselves and others.

2. Yamas & Niyamas Kid Unit is a 48-page PDF download directed at kids ages 7-11

This bundle contains twenty (20) lesson plans that can be used as a yoga class series, or easily incorporated into the school classroom. Adults can facilitate conversations, games, activities, and yoga experiences that give children concrete information about each of the Yamas & Niyamas.  

Each lesson plan breaks down one of the Yamas or Niyamas and includes; introduction to that specific core value, a discussion guide, small group work or activity, breathing exercises and yoga poses to challenge and engage children.

How can kids benefit from learning about the yamas and niyamas? Our founder Lara Hocheiser discusses how to apply the principles of yamas and niyamas to children ages 7-11 in Yamas and Niyamas Webinar for Kids.
