Today MegaBugs we are going on An exciting adventure, but before we do we need to warm
up, let’s put some music on and get ready:
As you play the music you should do: Hello Sun, Hello Earth, Roadrunner (beep beep),
snake (hiss) Dog (woof) Hello Earth, Hello Sun.
Repeat this three times for a high energy warm up.
Well done, I think we are ready now!
Adventure: 22 mins
We begin walking to the fun fair. We hold hands with Mum and Dad. We have to look both
ways before crossing the street. We can see the entrance with the big lights, and there is a
funny clown in front doing a funny walk (penguin). We buy our tickets and go through the
entrance (partner bridge).
The first thing we see is the aeroplane ride! We give the man our ticket and the ride begins.
Slowly at first, and then faster and faster! The ride slows down and we get off.
After the aeroplane ride we decide to play the strong man game. We must pick up a big
hammer and strike a target which hopefully will make a bell ring if it reaches the top (wood

chopping). We have 3 tries. Hurray! We won! And our prize is a huge toy Lion!
Now it’s time to go on the bouncy castle! Oh no! When we get there they tell us the bouncy
castle is losing air, and we must help blow it up (concertina breath). Finally the bouncy
castle is ready and we can get inside. We start to bounce (I usually ask the children to do
frog hops, then bunny hops, then kangaroo hops, then hopping on one leg, etc).
We decide it might be more fun to go on the ghost train (form tunnel dog poses and ask
children to make spooky noises as children crawl through).
After the ghost train (as above), we are feeling a bit hungry and decide to get some Pizza.
With our strength regained, we decide to go on the fun slide. We must climb up and up and
up the rope ladder and then slide down. Weeeeeeeeee! We do this several times before we
go on to the fun house.
At the fun house we must climb a ladder, and then we go over the shaky bridge to a fun
mirror. This mirror makes us look really short (squat) and the mirror next to it makes us look
really tall (stretch up to tip toe. Go up and down several times). Now we have to go up
the plank and down the slide.
We decide to play one more game and try our luck on hooking a Boat with our fishing rod.
We won again! This time our prize is an adorable toy Dog!
We can’t leave without a ride on the carousel. We pick our favourite Horse, and off we go!
At last it is time to go home. We are so tired that the climb up the stairs to bed seems so
difficult (mud walking). At last we are in Bed.
Relaxation and Visualisation: 5 mins
Now we are feeling our whole bodies sink into our beds. We’re letting go of worries and
fears. We are feeling so peaceful and quiet and inside our tummies we can see a big smile
developing. There’s a hot water bottle near our feet that is spreading a golden thread of
warmth from our toes to the tops of our heads, filling us with a glowing light that tingles all
over. Not a sound can be heard, we are listening now to our breathing, quiet as our bellies
Teacher rings little bell or uses a chime with gentle sound.
Slowly allow yourselves to wake up and shake out your sleepiness.

Game: Yoga Charades 2
Sit the children in a circle and chose one child to come to the teacher. Show the child a card
(without showing the other children). For younger children use a set of the YogaBugs playing
cards and allow them to see the cards first.
The chosen child must go to the middle of the circle and perform the posture.
The first child to shout the name of the posture is then the next to be shown a card and to
perform the posture in the centre and so on.
