Yoga poses related to transportation?


I'm working at a daycamp for kids ages 4-12 who have disabilities. Several days a week, we have the kids do yoga as part of their health/fitness time. Our theme for next week is "Transportation" and I'd like to include some yoga poses related to it. Does anyone know where I can find these online?

Thanks!

There are a ton of transportation poses that I use with my kids classes all the time! We actually take "yoga field trips" without leaving our yoga mats!

Get in your car: Dandasana Pose
(then you can buckle seatbelts which add twists, roll up the windows, start the car, press on the gas/break to stretch the top of the feet)

Drive to the airport: Warrior Three
Standing on one leg, then take a fuel break and switch legs.

Get on a boat: boat pose!
Row, row row your boat (add singing, it's fun!)
sail boat - arms over head
canoe - low boat

Then you can go to the beach... and the mat becomes a surf board! You can do Surfer 1, Surfer 2, Surfer three (warrior 1, 2, 3) and other poses on the surf board. It could also become a snow board if needed.

You can also look at games with transportation: Have everyone become trees (tree pose) and drive airplanes through the trees or cars.

You can look at ways animals move and put yoga mats in a "zoo train" and move like animals.

The possibilities are limitless!
(though I'm not sure where you could find them online, just be creative with regular poses!)

How about introducing them to some pranayama as an example of transporting them to a peaceful state of mind?

All the yoga I do is on a mat, pretty stationary, so I'm not sure what else might fit the theme.

Some yoga moves that stimulate the heart and stimulate the transportation of blood and oxygen to all parts of their body?
I'm thinking specifically of some kundalini yoga I have done that is pretty simple yet repetetive moves that get the heart pumping. :)

Hope that helps a little. :)
