LOOK WHAT I CAN DO!

Submitted by Gerry Cernicky

Concept : Lead-up tumbling skills

Grade Level : 3-6

Materials :Cones , poster paper , butcher block paper , tumbling mats, markers

Lesson :
Place cones in a scattered formation next to the tumbling mats.
On each cone write the name of the tumbling skill on poster paper.
On the gym wall tape the butcher block paper with the names of the skill that are the same as the ones on the cone.
If the skill is done correctly, the student goes over to the wall and places their name under the attained skill.
To start the activity , the teacher must see the skill done correctly. This means the skill will have to be performed many times as practice until the teacher sees the skill . The skills will be from easy to complex so that everybody will be successful at some time.
The skills are :

  • forward roll
  • backward roll
  • log roll
  • tripod
  • cartwheel
  • round-off
  • handstand
  • straddle roll
  • handsprings

    • The students may go to any mat they desire/according to their abilty . They will then write their names each time the skill is done correctly . Post the names for all to see and make a theme "Look what I can do!"
    As a variation , take pictures and post them along with their names.
