Beginner Lesson Plan November Part 2

Start of class: Say your Hello's and introductions, check if they have cards, make sure they are on your list ( if not on list send them to office), get to zone (Takes about 3 minutes)

‍

Warm up:

Roll the Dice! One Dice has body Positions and the other one has a conditioning. You pick the number amount!

Example: First dice says jumping jacks and second dice says Hollow. You pick the number 10. They do 10 jumping jacks then hold Hollow position for 10 seconds.

This is a fun way to warm up! (No more then 7 minutes)

‍

Other ideas to do as a whole class: Pick one either a group activity or circuit ( Takes about 10-15 minutes)

In a circle or spread out show:

Bridges: 0ne leg, one arm, one leg and arm, rainbow bridge (both legs together and straight).

Handstands: Kicking up, monkey tail, or donkey kicks

Forward and Backwards rolls

Full and Half turns

Everyone do bridge and you spot each kid doing backbend while they hold bridge. If strong enough spot bridge kick over

‍

Do a circuit with the stations:

Explain the circuit. Have kids go through it for a few minutes.

Then break into stations

‍

Other ending class ideas pick one: (No more then 5 minutes)

Cool down stretching, Sit in circle show a favorite skill, Play a gymnastic useful game

At the end of class ask the kids what their favorite station was ( great way to do this is while they are cleaning mats). This is a useful tool to see what is working.
