Will definitely have to use some of those. I do a quided relaxation which asks kids to imagine their favourite colour. To see the many things which are that colour. Maybe the blue sky, green leaves in spring, yellow daffodiles, red apple, purple sunset, orange pumpkin, brown eye of a loved one, black cat, white sheets blowing on the clothes line. To breathe in their favourite color, exhale all the grey, etc. It really is a wonderful way to spend savasana. Love all the great ‘color’ themed teaching ideas.

It would be perfect for a yoga class focusing on colors. There are so many great ways to incorporate colors into a kids' yoga class. I've used the different colored cards from a Candyland game for kids to randomly select, find a partner who chose the same color, and for them to think of a yoga pose (either taught or created) that correlates with that color. (Such as green frogs, yellow flowers, pink butterflies, or blue airplanes). The kids are so creative! Another great idea is to play a game using a parachute, instructing the kids to place different body parts on different colors. This game requires focus, listening, and builds balance, strength and flexibility. Lastly, I ask the kids to choose a color block on the parachute for their shavasana. As they are lying down on the color they chose, I read the descriptions of each color from the Yoga Pretzels card deck "Be A Rainbow", and have them visualizing themselves as that color's description. Once they are finished relaxing and we are back in our yoga circle, just before our closing song, I give the kids a chance to discuss how they related to their color's description. It's a neat way to get the kids to be a little introspective and thoughtful about what makes them who they are.
