Balance. The ultimate balance family game is without a doubt, Jenga. Fifty-four wooden blocks stacked in 18 levels. The object is to pull a block out of the stack without it falling and then place that block on top of the stack making it higher and higher. It is a game of focus, mental skill, and a steady hand. I wanted to work on balance with the kids this week. By simply writing balance poses on the wooden blocks, I turned my Jenga game into Yoga Jenga! Tree, Eagle, Crow, Warrior 3. As each child picked a block from the stack, they then had to teach it to the class for all to try. Great fun!
I just want to say thanks for your inspiration!!!

ReplyDeleteI love this idea! I have a group of 8 teenage boys with autism I work with in a local school-this game is perfect for them! Thank you for your great ideas!
