Gymnastics activity: balancing

In this lesson, we will learn the basic balances and explore the different ways we can show these. We will think about how we can exercise safely in our home environment.

An introduction to basic balance

In this lesson, we will learn how to link the basic balances with travelling movements. We will also learn how to perform a safe warm-up and cool-down.

Exploring travelling movements

In this lesson, we will learn the different types of rolling movements that can be performed safely in our home environment. We will learn how to link these movements with the basic balances. We will also think about how exercise makes us feel.

Exploring linking rolls and balances

In this lesson, we will develop our gymnastics vocabulary by learning some intermediate balances and think about how using body tension and control can make our balances look effective. We will understand what impact regular gymnastics can have on our body.

Introducing intermediate balance

In this lesson, we will continue to develop our understanding of how balances and travelling actions can be linked together to create a basic sequence. We will think about what impact exercise has on our body's responses.
