Shhhhh…..don’t wake up the Princess in this new favorite game

Are you needing a game that young kids love to play AND it keeps them quiet?

Back before the pandemic, Princess Tiptoe was a game that I regularly rotated in for my younger kids yoga classes (ages 3-6).

We would play this game right before our Stillness and Savasana and it was the perfect game for winding down and bringing a calming sense and energy to the group.

Princess Tiptoe is found in our brand new book, Yoga Games & Activities for Children.

How to Play Princess Tiptoe

Number of Players: 6+

Materials: Magic Wand or something similar deemed magic

Recommended Ages: 3-6

Directions:

Select one player as “Prince Tiptoe” (or Princess Tiptoe).
The other players spread over the room and go into Child’s Pose (see image below). If you are able, turn the lights turned low as tat creates a calming feeling.

The Kids Yoga Challenge Pose Cards include 40 Yoga Poses, Starred Difficulty Level, and corresponding Mantra

Princess Tiptoe begins by putting a finger to their lips and whispering: “shh! Here comes Prince Tiptoe” as they tiptoe around the room.
When the players are tapped by Prince Tiptoe they join in a line behind the Prince, tiptoeing at the same speed.
When all of the players are in line, Prince Tiptoe slows the movement and turns to the player directly behind them and says, “shh.”
The Player behind should quickly tiptoe back to their original spot and go back into Child’s Pose.
This continues until all of the players have returned to their spots.

This is great for transitioning from a noisy, loud active group game to a quieter time for younger children. I love to use this game as a simple and effective transition into Stillness and Savasana at the end of our yoga class.
