This is only to be played with a soft ball and I usually make a very big point that the ball is to be kept along the ground at all times.

We start with one child at each end of the room; one of which is holding the ball. The rest of the children are in the middle of the room. The kids in the middle move around till the child with the ball calls out a yoga pose. All the children in the middle get into that yoga pose and stay really really still the ball is then rolled along the ground and if it hits a child, the person who got hit gets to swap places with the person who rolled the ball. The child on the other side of the room then gets a go of calling out a yoga pose and rolling the ball.

Other children’s yoga games you can play are … Giants treasure, Musical  Mats, Triangle Tiggy, Upset the crocodile, The knot, I went to a yoga class and I did, Yoga heads
