Fun yoga-based game for kids with good visual discrimination skills
Here's what I love about the Upside Down Games:* they are yoga-based games..... there are very few out there that are so it's great to see more!* they go beyond just "poses" (LOVE the "quiz cards" in The Magic Path of Yoga that provide multiple-choice quiz questions relating to basic yoga history, nutrition, body knowledge, the environment & eco-friendly choices; LOVE how the "Mission Cards" in the Yogi Card game get kids to analyze the components of poses; LOVE that the instruction booklet in both versions of The Magic Path of Yoga includes basic anatomy info & how the booklet fans out in the travel version with the pose illustrations on one side & instructions on the back )* they are well constructed (LOVE how thick the cards are in the Memo Yoga game & how easy the "spinner" is to spin once the cards are taken out the Yoga Spinner game....... many of the kids I work with have difficulty with fine motor skills so these details matter in making a game accessible)* they are colorful (important for sustaining the attention of younger kids or those with special needs)* the instructions for the different levels of play are fairly easy to follow and are printed on the box as well as on an insert in each game.* the company has put thought into responsible manufacturing & materials (see their website for details)* they made an effort to include illustrations of kids reflecting racial diversity* their website has info for parents: [...]* the company donates 10% of the proceeds to help economically disadvantaged children stay in schoolJust a few suggestions for improvements:* I wish they were "cooperative" games (where all the players work together to win the game) vs. "competitive" games...... or if alternative rule suggestions were provided for that method of play. I naturally adapt almost any game I use in speech-language therapy or kids yoga to be played in that fashion but folks who are not familiar with the concept of "cooperative" games may need some ideas for doing this. For example, in the Yoga Spinner game the "sad face" & "happy face" cause a player to lose a card by the another player taking a card from them..... rather than using these rules, I will be incorporating empathy & emotions activities for those spots. I have lots of social skill materials to pull from in my work as a SLP to be able to do this.* Many of the games have OM symbols of varying sizes and prominence on them. This could be viewed as having "religious" connotations and could pose questions/concerns in certain settings. I am particularly sensitive to this working in a state agency & public schools.* Some of the rules involve holding a pose for 10 seconds. It would be nice to see suggestions for modifying this for younger kids or those with special needs (ex: holding a pose for 2-3 breaths; or deciding as a team what the pose challenge length will be. I work with a lot of kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders that take written rules very literally)Angela Moorad, MS, CCC-SLP, IAYT, RCYP-2Speech-Language PathologistFounder of OMazing Kids, LLC - inclusive wellness activities for kids of all abilitiesFacebook: OMazingKidsYoga

My girls (11 & 5) love this game
My girls (11 & 5) love this game! It was just the right speed an difficulty level. My older daughter and I had fun trying to find the yoga poses on the board. Very colorful and artistic.
