I was looking through my idea folder for some new inspiration. I came across a torn out Family Fun Magazine page. Although originally pulled out for an outdoor game on one side, I was pleasantly surprised to find inspiration for a new way to play the old favorite game telephone on the other page.
Here is my yoga version.
Have everyone sit down in a circle. Jot down three yoga moves on a piece of paper (so that you can remember the sequence!) Whisper the three moves to one of your students. That person passes the message on until the message makes it all around the circle. The last player to hear the message announces the instructions aloud and leads the class in acting them out.
To make this even trickier, and to get more people announcing the instructions more quickly, have two messages go around the circle in opposite directions.
Have fun!

Great game idea, I love the way you adapted it for yoga.
I just subscribed to Family Fun (the Disney Magazine) and I’m really amazed at all the great ideas they have there. So many craft and game ideas.

Great idea! I always loved the telephone game, and a yoga version is a great way to play AND test their memory of poses.
P.S. I LOVE Family Fun! I am actually submitting some pitches to them this winter.
