Initial Assessment

Pass the Buck

Children to make a circle holding hands (no more than 7, if possible have 2 or more groups

competing against each other:

Place a ball in a child’s left hand

They must pass the ball to their right hand

Using their right hand they must pass the ball to the next person’s left hand (working anti-

clockwise)

This is repeated until back to the beginning when all the children sit down

A person must only use the on correct hand to send and receive i.e. they must not take the

ball from the person’s right hand with their right hand it must go

o LEFT – RIGHT – LEFT – RIGHT etc.

Repeat the game but start with the right hand and go clock-wise

To make more difficult get them to pass the ball around their body before passing it to the

next person

Circle Hoop

Children to make a circle holding hands (no more than 7, if possible have 2 or more groups

competing against each other:

Children to hold hands at all times

Place a hoop between two children’s hands (continue to hold hands afterwards)

Children must pass the hoop around the circle without breaking hands

Children to send hoop clockwise and anticlockwise

Make more difficult by adding another hoop

Cat Basket Relay

Children to be in small teams one behind each other:

One at a time, each child tries to send a coloured bean bag to the corresponding coloured

basket

Work as relay until all the beanbags have been used

Allocate points for each colour

To make more difficult space the coloured baskets and different distances

Send, Send,Send (Australian pack)

Teams to face each other each group has a scrunched up paper ball

On a signal players send their paper ball over a line in the direction of the opposite team

After a set period, balls are counted to see who has the least balls

Page 7: Beaufort Primary School Gymnastics (KS1) · Year 5 -6 Hockey Basketball Cricket Gymnastics Handball Football Lower Key Stage 2 Year 3 - 4 FMS Gymnastics Creative Movement Agility

5 | P a g e

Balls Hoops

Spread the team out evenly between two hoops set at a reasonable distance. Children must be able

to send a small tennis ball to each other but not so close as they can pass it, and not too far apart so

as to make it too difficult to receive:

Place a set number of balls in the first hoop with one child

This child must send one ball at a time from child to child to the last hoop

Winning team is the team with the most balls in the hoop or gets all of them in before the

other teams

Relay Games

Correct running technique

Speed Gate (Australian Pack)

Send a ball through a gate (cones) to a wall or to a person in your team

Snakes Alive

The first ball rolled becomes the head of the snake

Players deliver one ball at a time, aiming to place each ball behind the previous ball

The aim is to form the longest snake

Target Relay

Gates are set up over a course

Players in relay teams roll (send) the ball through the gates back to next team

Warm Up

Desert Islands

Mats to be spread around the hall in an organised fashion or more sporadic

Children should be encouraged to move around the mats in a safe manner

Children not allowed to touch the mats or anyone else

Decide on a signal to stop children and get the children on the mats safely o Raising your arm o Raising a coloured cone to signal o Play music and stop music to signal o Shout stop or shark

Children to travel around either Jogging, Skipping, Jumping, Hopping, Walking

At the stop signal you need to call out a shape, the children then have to go get into that shape on the mats by:

Lying down

Kneeling

Standing or sitting Limit how many children are allowed per mat to challenge the children to get to a mat and travel around

5-7 minutes

Activities

Using a THEME

One way to make it fun and interesting is to have a fun theme

If the children are working on a theme in class, try and associate the themes with the movement ideas in the Gymnastics lesson

SHAPES (stretch/tuck/straddle/pike) DIRECTIONS (forwards/backwards/sideways/high/low) FANTASY/NURSERY (fairies/giants/soldiers) ANIMALS (giraffes/crocidiles/rabbits/frogs/snakes) Up, Over & Under (for use with equipment)

Teacher to choose first way to travel around the area o Create a signal to stop (hold up a red cone or call out red)

When stopped, hold a shape for 5 seconds

Child in best shape, will get to choose next way to travel

Progress to use different shapes when stopped

Introduce themes in moving once children established simple safe movements

30 minutes

Cool Down

Object shapes

Tall as a tree – reach up tall and wriggle fingers like the leaves on a tree

Wide as a house – arms and legs out wide

Thin as a pin – stand tall and thin

Small as a mouse – make themselves as small as they can tucking into a ball

You can also use the common rhyme of head, shoulders, knees and toes o This is a great one for stretching but it also teaches them the parts of the body and coordination

Warm Up

Shipwrecked

Set a four sided area using different colour markers

The sides of the area to be highlighted with the following signs: o Front – Bow o Back – Stern o Left – Port o Right – Starboard

Children to start on the deck in the centre of the deck (centre of the room)

The teacher to be the captain

Captain to call out orders

Orders to be called out by captain are below:

Climb the rigging: run on the spot and move hands over each other though you are climbing a rope

Scrub the deck: Bend down on one knee and move hands as though scrubbing the floor

Hit the deck: children lie down on the floor on their front

Mon over board: Children lie on the floor and pretend to swim (be careful of kicking legs)

Man the lifeboats: Sit one behind the other in groups of 4 or 5 and start rowing action (be careful not to clash heads)

Captain’s coming: Stand still salute and say “Ay Ay Captain”

5-7 minutes

Activities

Rolling Ensure that there are enough mats for two children per mat. Introduce one roll at a time, challenge any children that are finding it easy and support the children who need support: Stretched/Log Roll

Make sure that the body remains in a stretched shape throughout. Start in quarter movements, then progress to half movements and then the full roll. The arms must stay by the ears to help initiate and let the roll continue smoothly.

Tucked/Egg Roll

The knees must stay tucked into the chest and the elbows bent and tucked into the chest and the elbows bent and tucked into the body. This will help when trying to get back to the finish position. Any dropping of the feet will straighten the back making rolling difficult.

Teddy Roll

Start off in a straddle shape holding on underneath the knees. Keeping the straddle shape strong, tip onto the side lifting one leg into the air. Keeping the movement of the first foot going, roll onto the back so that both legs are off the floor. The first leg keeps going across to the opposite side of the mat and goes onto the floor. The body is now tipped on its side with the other leg in the air. The other leg comes down to the floor sitting into a straddle shape.

Forward Roll 1. Stand up tall with feet together, arms straight by ears. Make sure they

have enough mat in front to complete the roll forwards. 2. Adopt the crouch position on the toes with the back straight, knees

together, feet together arms stretch forwards. 3. Lower the hands to the floor and raise the hips higher than the head and

shoulders. The knees stay slightly bent. Hands must be flat and facing forwards.

4. The head tucks in placing the chin on the chest and the nose towards the knees. This position allows them to gain the correct shape to place the back of their head on the floor.

5. The arms start to bend as the hips rise further over the hands, a small but firm push forwards through toes and straightening of the legs should result in the roll forwards. The back of the head will make brief contact with the floor but should quickly roll along the back until they are able to place the feet on the floor to stand.

30 minutes

Cool Down

‘Do This, Do That’

If the teacher says “Do This” and the teachers puts both hands on their head, the children must copy

If the teachers says “Do That” and the teacher puts their hands on their knees, you do not copy

DO THIS – copy teacher

DO THAT – do not copyteacher
