Get the full lesson plan here. Here’s the outline of the kids yoga lesson plan I taught using the book, Journey Journey Yoga Lesson Plan and Sequence of Poses Opening Question and Warm Up: The first year I started teaching yoga at a K-4 Charter school that is focused on getting kids to and through college, I didn’t know how to join these things together. They should include dialogue which they will have to create themselves, based on what they feel the characters would say. It's a bad idea to talk to much about this book... it's much better to let the pictures talk, and even sing!

In the story the girl takes a crayon and draws a doorway out of her bedroom. Firstly can you spot any clues to the story within her room (watch yesterdays Youtube video and see if you can spot the clues). This may be a children's book, but I can see it having much broader appeal than that. It seems to be popular among adults as well, and I totally understand why. It's fun, it's cute, it's engaging, and it's skillfully done. It's one of the best picture books I've read! Imagine that you could draw a magic door from your classroom / bedroom wall into another world. Draw the view to the other side. For example: what would happen if this object…grew to be enormous? …had magic powers? …wanted a friend? …came to life? …belonged to somebody else (the queen, a lion, a visitor from outer space)?A beautiful wordless picture filled with adventure and wonder. Our protagonist feels alone in the grey city that surrounds her and traps her. She wishes to travel and to see the world and for this to happen she will have to do it for herself. With just a swipe of chalk and a lot of imagination she travels to far away lands filled with wonder and mystery; beauty and danger.

A young girl escapes her lonely, sepia-tone world by drawing a door that leads into an enchanted world tinted with colour, adventure and, ultimately, friendship. She takes quite a JOURNEY in this completely wordless picture book, with her magical red crayon as the key. In a little rowing boat, she sails along the canals of a golden-domed city. In a bright-red hot-air balloon, she escapes one near-misadventure and heads towards another. Finally, she lands in a cage after an encounter with a sinister crew and an exotic purple bird, and, as the crayon falls from her hands, all seems lost. Bravery, and a little help from the loyal bird, leads her to further misadventures a bit closer to home, where she finds she's not the only one with a magic crayon and an imagination.In this next idea, pupils can record oral descriptions over pictures in the story to retell it in their own words. In this next idea, pupils take an image from the story and add oral recordings describing different elements of the picture and story. The child in the story we are going to read has this wonderful crayon that opens up a door into a new world. She goes on a Journey into the world and finds some incredible things to do and explore. Let’s read it together and find out what she does.
