Chimp Shakespeare’s Alphabet Yoga™
A PLAYFUL ALPHABET FITNESS® PROGRAM for KIDS
This activity book is a playful way to introduce children to fun, yoga-like stretches as they form the 26 letters of the alphabet with their full body. When bodies expand their motor capacities brains become more learning adaptable.
Chimp Shakespeare®, our chimpanzee yoga master, will be the child’s guide. Simply imitating these letter postures with her/his own body helps each child develop uniquely creative alphabet learning skills.
