Rub cev cards helps us learn the Hmong words for objects while acting them out physically in yoga. Teaching Hmong yoga words is a great way to learn Hmong words, the sounds associated with specific letters while moving our bodies.

How to assemble these cards.

Recommended supplies to make assembly easier (paid links to Amazon):

• Printer
  • Note: This is a well-reviewed color laser printer for the price; our specific printer (Brother 3140CW) is no longer manufactured
• 28 or 32 lb printer paper or cardstock
• Paper cutter
• Laminating machine
• Laminating sheets
• Hole punch
• Ring

1. Print 2-x as slides. (Page 1 is my Terms of Use – be sure not to print it or the extra page will mess up the page orders!) I like to print on 28lb or 32lb paper. There will be 2 cards per sheet, front and back.
2. Laminate the cards, hole punch the upper left corner, and put them on a ring.

Here are some ways to use the cards:

• Go through the cards one by one just for fun.
• Let your child be the teacher. They can pick a card and/or say each the yoga pose and you act it out.
• If you really want to use these cards to teach Hmong words, do a few at a time. Act each yoga pose out with props.
• Lay down the cardsand pick different poses while saying them out loud.
• Have fun incorporating yoga poses into play.
• After consistent review of the yoga cards over time, see if your child can remember the Hmong yoga pose and word before turning the two-sided card over.
