Wiggle Games!
Hello! New here but got benefit already!! I have little ones, and they were "sooooo boooored" after screen time so I busted out this Skool and looked around. We found wiggle games and I picked the colors! We moved to Puerto Vallarta Mexico recently and still teaching the kids Spanish. So what we did is I would call out a color in Spanish, and all 3 kids had to run around the house and find something with that color. The wife got involved too! The dog was barking and going crazy because of all the running! Someone even got the cat for Gris (grey)! Thanks wiggle games!

New Game Idea I'm Testing
Who would like to be a beta tester? This is a pen and paper game, and you would need to print it out. I've just discovered a phone game called, "Crozzle" it's a cross between acrostics, crossword puzzle, and scrabble. I thought it would be fun to create monthly game packs with new themes each week and playable with toddlers but each puzzle gets more challenging to keep teens and adults engaged, too. Here's one puzzle. I'll post the answer key tomorrow. What do you think? Should I continue or is this a meh? Would you play? What would you change? What would you keep? Tagging a few of my game people here: @Gus Gray, @Evelene Sterling, @Blue Mojo, @Michelle Fuentes, @Adam Formanek, @Sharon Otaguro

Good morning, Unpluggers!
Day 2 starting line. How's everyone feeling? If you tried something yesterday and it went sideways, remember that's not a loss, that's a Beautiful Failure bonus waiting to be claimed. Document the wreckage and post it. If you haven't started yet, no stress. Today is a great day to knock out something quick. The Floor is Lava and The Kid Has Left the Building are both fast, low-lift, and ridiculously fun for the under-8 crowd. Feeling ambitious today? Trash to Treasure and the Free Little Library are bigger builds that pair well with a free afternoon. Two days down, two to go. Let's see what Day 2 brings. Drop your progress below, even a half-finished tower counts as momentum.
Good morning, Unpluggers!
Happy International Yoga Day!!
It's 3 celebrations in one today with the summer solstice, international yoga day and father's day! I was so grateful to be able to share a yoga practice with the community - We played a game of grumpy neighbour, practiced our tree pose and had a lot of fun connecting through play 🥰 You can find the recording here ( https://www.skool.com/connectthruplay/yoga-with-natasha?p=87171214 ). One thing I have inside The Family Yoga Club is our Yoga Games Library which has games like we played in the live class, but incase you can't catch the recording but would still like a fun yoga game to play, I thought I'd share it in text here. Mr McGregor's Garden (or Grumpy Neighbour) This game takes having some space, the length of a room, or get outside if possible (getting outside will have added benefits that will help in calming hyper children!). It can even be played in the kitchen before dinner. This is a favourite in both my classes and at home. How to play You stand at one end of the room (or a chosen point outside) and your child or children stand at the other end, leaving a decent amount of space between you. The idea here is that you are Mr McGregor and you do not want bunnies in your garden! When you are not watching they must hop like bunnies to get to the other side and tap you on the shoulder (or get to the wall). When you are looking , they must stand still in tree pose. This will help with balance and focus. You can then switch around so they can be Mr McGregor. I like to make this game super dramatic. Be as grumpy as you can, tune into that character who really does not want bunnies in his garden! I usually say "I only want to see trees in my garden." I take a walk around inspecting the trees too, this encourages children to hold the pose a little longer. Encourage them to change sides (change the standing leg). Decide with the children what the rules should be if they get caught moving. Do they have to go back to the start, go back a few steps or stay still from that moment? We want to keep this fun and if there is confusion about the rules, especially when playing with multiple children, it can take-away from the fun!
