YOGA 4 KIDS Games

Although the game is made of good quality materials, several things disappointed me.First of all, the card games included don't make a whole lot of sense since there is no 'face down' on the cards. The cards have a pose drawing on one side, and the instructions on the other. There is no way of putting a card down and not knowing what it is. Once you play this a few times and you know which character does a certain pose on the card (and if you have decent visual memory this won't take too long), the card games lose all elements of surprise. And how do you play Go Fish (asking for all cards with a certain character from your opponent), when there are only 4 characters? How do you make pairs in Memory or Old Maid when there are 13 cards for each 4 characters? It makes very little sense to me.That leaves the board game.My issues with that are, again, the lack of ability to put the cards 'face down'. Picture or words, you know what is up next. Some of the poses have weird names (weeping willow for standing forward fold, flying carpet for locust, etc.) which doesn't help if this is not the only yoga tool you use with a group of kids, inevitably leading to questions and discussions why this pose is called something different. And the pose descriptions are way too long and detailed to make this a game for young kids. Instructions like 'lifting the knee caps' and 'feeling your spine lengthen in both directions' is a level of detail I wouldn't introduce until the teenage years. At least with the emotionally disturbed kids I work with.While I appreciate the list of things a pose is good for (Stress, ADHD, asthma, etc) I really don't think the place for that is on the card itself (unless you keep it super simple). It is not fun having to interrupt the game to explain to an 8 year old reading the card what a thyroid is, what can go wrong with it and how this pose helps the thyroid (information that is NOT included, I might add. Good luck if you don't have a background in yoga therapy). Kids are curious, and it feels bad to have to squash that curiosity with a 'never mind, we don't have time to talk about that now', if the better solution would have been to either keep the benefits super simple (I.e. sleep, stress, back stretch) or to include them for the instructor on a separate sheet.I'm also not looking forward to having 'relieves gas and constipation' come up with a group of elementary age kids.All in all, I think the card games are worthless and the board game could have been much better executed.

Excellent game to introduce kids to a fun and exciting yoga practice!!! The board and cards are high quality. The different card games are innovative and fun!!! My niece who is 8 and my grandson who is 5 both had a very good time playing the game. They can’t stop talking about the different poses and all the benefits they have on their health.

“WOW!!! I highly recommend this yoga game. A quality product for all ages, it’s beyond compare.Family fun, makes a memorable gift for anyone.

I am a teacher and this game has been a great brain break in class. Love it for my family as well!

Such a great bonding experience as mom and daughter!

The Yoga 4 Kids game is an amazing and easy way to learn yoga! It's great for all age groups, it's even listed on the game Ages 4-104! Kids always get excited when the board game comes out. The game keeps their attention while giving them a workout and relaxing them with yoga poses!

Excellent way for anyone, any age, seeking to learn yoga.I highly recommend this product!

This is the greatest game! My kids love this game!!! They practice with their mother all the time! I Definitely would recommend this to everyone!
