Have students create a movement sequence with a partner, showing contrasting balances at different levels. Add two different rolls to the sequence. Set up small and large apparatus and have students create sequences individually or with others. Have students create sequences using small objects such as hoops, balls, clubs, or ribbons, incorporating specific gymnastic skills, with or without music. Have small groups create pyramids or statues that incorporate balances at different levels and a variety of shapes.
Students keep a record of each gymnastic movement they are able to perform.
