A Fantasy Trip to the Zoo
That Also Teaches Yoga
 Children love to pretend that they are
animals, whether a dolphin swimming in
the pool, a baby bird in a nest of blankets
or a monkey in a tree. The
Yoga Zoo Adventure for Little Kids utilizes this natural inclination
in order to teach basic yoga to children
ages 3–7. The poses and movements
are based on animals, and children will
love these exercises because they engage
their imagination and their bodies.
The book consists of four sections. The
first part is information for the adults
leading the exercises. The second part
is a fantasy trip to the zoo where children
meet and mimic giraffes, flamingos, monkeys,
tigers and many more. They visit every
part of the zoo, from the predators' enclosure
to the ape cage, from the insect house
to the aviary, and home again. In the third
section they are introduced to the philosophies
of the yoga lifestyle through a series
of animal fables. The final part of the
book offers background information and
fun facts on the animals the children "met" earlier.
Helpful tips, suggestions and an easy-to-follow
format help make this rich book as user-friendly
as possible. The
Yoga Zoo Adventure for Little Kids is
a wonderful resource for schools, daycare
centers, clubs and summer camps.

Improv Comedy for Children

the U.S. and U.K. by the hit television
show "Who's
Line Is It Anyway?" but improv has
been around giving people laughs and goosebumps
for a long time. 101

art of creating something out of nothing — and
bringing an audience to laughter using
skills you didn't even know you possessed.

(every unscripted, unrehearsed conversation
we have every day is an improv), the "dos" and "don'ts" of
performing, and how to teach improv to
children. Basic exercises, from simple
warm up activities to over-the-top crowd
pleasing games, are explained with clear
instructions on how to do them, what things
to watch for and avoid, and how to know
if you are succeeding. The games in this
book include:
* freeze tag games
* emotional games
* fairy tales
* directed games
* guessing games
*narrative games
Also included are tips on subjects ranging
from advanced improv techniques, putting
together an improv troupe, to putting on
your very own show.
