UPDATE:  Due to the COVID-19 and Australian Health guidelines this event has been postposed to later in 2020.. Please come back and check my Schedule here. In the meantime please enjoy some of the suggestions I have in this blog with your children and teenagers at home.

This month I decided to share a teen tip with you especially with my upcoming Teen Training in Brisbane April 17-19 at One Family Yoga & Fitness. 

One of the things I have noticed with my teen students is the absolute necessity to have FUN with them.  I think we can get easily forget that even in their rapidly changing body and increased level of responsibility in their lives is a ‘Child’ that wants to have fun – don’t we all actually!  This is one of the reasons that I always make laughter and fun an essential ingredient in my class!
 
Recently we played a memory game which I figured would help them explore their ability to focus and memorize what they saw before them.   Also indirectly a different way of enhancing their skills to study for exams!  What was really sweet was how they seemed excited at the prospect of playing the game and at the same time became nostalgic with one another about when they were tweenies and loved doing this together!

What you need and how to play
  • A collection of random objects natural or manmade – it could be a shell, feather, coin, flower absolutely anything really.
 
  • Arrange them on the floor in front of them and then name each one together.
 
  • The students then close their eyes and you remove one of the objects – call out “ready”!  They then open their eyes and see if they can identify the missing object.
 
  • They have to raise their hand first before they can say what they think it is ☺.
​
  • It is lots of fun and a great way to relax and unwind before relaxation.
