Let’s Go Outside and YoPlay

Description

There are so many things I love about being outside in nature.  Walking through the forest between towering trees, hearing the birds chirping or the brook babbling, the smell of pine trees and feeling the sun on my back and the crunch of the earth beneath every step.  “Let’s Go Outside & YoPlay” is the title of this month’s YoPlay lesson plan.

We mindfully connect to our senses, to the essence of change and how it is connected to outside play and nature.

With easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions, “Let’s Go Outside & YoPlay” features 2 special mindfulness activities, a detailed yoga pose sequence, a music playlist, suggested book & prop list and thematic scripted guided visualization. This original YoPlay Lesson Plan educates 3-9 yr. olds about connecting to nature in a mindful, age-appropriate and movement-based way.
