Kids Yoga Adventures

I was covering planning time for another teacher this week and in her Kindergarten class, the children did Yoga watching these videos. I can't believe I didn't know about them earlier! There are many episodes that you can do on different days or even for the whole week if it matches your theme. They are great for indoor physical activity time (as they are about 15 minutes long) and keep the children busy! Here are some links with the themes for a quick search!

Fruit Smoothie Recipe

I came home today feeling really hot because of the weather. I wanted to cool down and I thought of making myself a smoothie. I LOVE my fruit smoothies. They are healthy, quick to make and a fun way to cool off. 

I also have made smoothies for kids at school. They have helped me with making them too. The kids love to make something and then later enjoy it. Here is how I make mine:

What you need:

Frozen or Fresh Fruit.

I like to use frozen because it turns out colder

and I don't need to use ice for it.

You can choose any fruit. I like

to use mixed berries or tropical fruits

(like mango, melon, cantaloupe).

Frozen Yogurt.

You can get plain one or a flavoured 

one. I like to use flavoured 

to bring out the fruity taste.

Juice.

The best kind of juice to use is

orange, pineapple or cranberry.

You also need a blender and a scoop.

Steps:

Put in your choice of fruit into

the blender. Add enough juice

so that the fruit is all covered.

Blend. 

If it is not blending well, add more juice.

Add 4-5 scoops of frozen yogurt

into the mixture. Blend.

You may have to stop after a while and blend again

with more juice. If you like yours a bit thick, like me,

don't add too much juice.

ENJOY!

My recipe does not have a specific number of servings. If I want to make lots, I add lots of fruit, juice and frozen yogurt.

This recipe can be made in the classroom with children. Make sure they are doing it with your help. It involves science, math, language, health and the most important subject: FUN!
