Yoga Games for Kids

Sometimes the easiest way to get kids moving is to make it a game.

Yoga games combine movement, imagination, play, and yoga poses to create activities that feel less like a lesson and more like something kids genuinely want to join.

This collection includes yoga games and playful movement resources for teachers, kids yoga instructors, pediatric therapists, school counselors, and families. Use them in classrooms, kids yoga classes, camps, after-school programs, therapy sessions, indoor recess, or at home.

Games can give children opportunities to practice familiar yoga poses, try new movements, interact with other children, make choices, and use their imaginations. They're also an easy way to add variety when children already know basic yoga poses and are ready to experience them in a different format.

Depending on the activity, yoga games can be played with a whole class, small group, partners, or individual children.

Whether you're filling five unexpected minutes, planning an indoor movement activity, or building an entire kids yoga session, having a few yoga games ready to go makes it much easier to get everyone involved and moving.
