If you have tried our other Halloween yoga ideas, but you are looking for something fresh and new, how about a Halloween yoga lesson inspired by creatures that are orange and black! There are so many orange and black animals to choose from!
You could start by brainstorming ideas of orange-and-black animals with your students on an ideas web. Or you could go to the class or school library to look through books to find some.

Here are a few ideas for critters that are orange and black: monarch butterflies, tigers, clownfish, emperor penguins, puffins, orioles, toucans, milk snakes, stink bugs, poison frogs, shore crabs, caterpillars, box turtles, orangutans, or painted bats!

Check out the list of yoga poses below to get out your wiggles and learn about black-and-orange creatures. This is a perfect indoor activity for a fall or Halloween celebration.
