jillian Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 So we do "school" with our K-er and just wondering if anyone else with a K-er age little one who they do wiggle reducing activities before you start your daily learning? What do you do? We also are hoping to make it like "exercise/daily activity is good for you and part of a healthy lifestyle" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmom3 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 We play "Fruit Basket" We have decided on a particular movement for each fruit-start with just a few. Ex: Apple=pat your head Banana=jump up and down Orange=turn around Blueberries=big arm circles and so on mom says a fruit and everybody does it. mom gets faster and faster. When mom yells "Fruit Basket" you can do anything--- go crazy! We also do Super Sonic fast and Slow motion. We have fun for a few minutes and everyone is ready to sit.

myfunnybunch Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Yoga for kids videos on rainy days. We had a silly to calm video that we really liked when my boys were all little. Neighborhood walks in nice weather. Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 My kids do a kids' yoga dvd in the morning. If we're running late we skip it and I notice a big difference in their ability to focus and get started when we do the yoga. It's not preachy yoga- mostly just stretches, breathing, and focus moves.

Paige Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 paige which dvd do you do? We do the Shanti Generation one. I have 4, 7, and 10yr olds doing it. On amazon it says it is for 7 and up but mine did it last year too and were fine with. It isn't fun and games with a preschool teacher sing songy voice, however, so if your oldest is still very young you may like another one better depending on your style and children's personalities.
