Review of Yoga-Yingo Farm Set

Customer Ratings:

Here's what I love about the Yoga-Yingo games:

*Most children & adults have played "bingo" before so this is a fun way to infuse yoga into an activity they are familiar with.

*Love the cooperative, non-competitive nature of the game.

*Love that the game starts & ends by "centering" in the center of the board with breathing! Mountain pose is a great pose to begin the game and it would be easy to add a "sun stretch & breath" as a warm-up from this position. Child Pose is a wonderful calming pose that almost every child can easily do and is a great way to relax at the end of the game.

*Love the use of real photos of the poses on the game board & pose cards. Photos tend to be more concrete & easier to understand than line drawings or illustrations so this should help younger kids and those with special needs.

*Love that each set includes a sheet with step-by-step simple instructions & modifications for each pose. This makes it user-friendly for families or therapists who may not be familiar with yoga.

*Love the variety of ways these games could be used. These games could easily be used in an individual or group setting. It would be fun to incorporate the Farm Set & Nature Set into larger themed activities by adding music/songs, a book, crafts, etc. It would also be fun to make picture cards of the animals & nature items to use as non-identical matching with the pose cards in therapy sessions. Another idea would be to hide the yoga pose cards and find them in a Yoga-Yingo scavenger hunt.... Doing poses on the go :)

My 3 kids (ages 22 months 5 yrs) and I had a great time playing the Farm game. We all rolled around like pigs for the pig pose. I got extra downward dog time by having them crawl/bark like dogs under me when I was in dog pose. We did some EIEIO singing with lots of animal sounds. The kids all have like 2-3 favorite poses. My 22 month old can do some of the poses too. This is great cause then she can play with us. It was a fun way to incorporate some exercise into our day, esp. for me. They ask me, when can we play yoga again? My little one walks around saying "yoga time".
