The 5 basic jumps
The first jump is from two feet to two feet.
For this jump the child must bend the knees,swing back the arms jump of the
balls of the feet, swing the arms forward, throw arms straight up in the air,
then land on two feet bending the knees.
The next jump is two feet to one foot. Like
the first jump the child bends the knees and swing back the arms, then jumps of
the balls of the balls of the feet and throw the arms up into the air, then land
on one beet bending the knee.
The next jump is one foot to the same foot
it’s like a hop. the child stands on one foot bends their knee swing the arms
back, then swing the arms forward and jump of the balls of
the feet, then lands on the same foot making sure to bend the
knee.
The next jump is from one foot to another.
Lift up one foot and jump off the standing foot by bending the knee swinging the
arms up in the air and land on the opposite foot making sure to bend the knee
and then step onto two feet.
The last jump combines moving to jumping, the
child has to run, and then jump of two feet again with the proper technique
bending the knees swinging back the arms and then swinging them forward up into
the air, then land with a bend in
the knees and continue right into a run again.

Sideways roll
sideways roll can be performed by lying down on the back or the front. The
person then makes a complete rotation by rolling onto the sides. One type of
side roll could be performed by making a roll side to side in a tucked position
which is often referred to as an “egg roll”. There are several variations of a
sideways roll. The person could log roll; here they must roll with their hands
beside their waist or they could do a pencil roll which means they have to keep
their hands stretched out over their head. Make sure to keep their body
straight and stretched. They should squeeze their legs together and should
stretch their arms over their head. A sideways roll can also be used when
gymnasts lose their balance in performing moves in a different direction eg
vertical. When performing a roll children should try to keep muscles tight, try
and be controlled and if using your hands keep them down on the mat as if your
slapping down pizzas.

hand balance/body curled
To perform a hand balance arms should be shoulder width a part. The arms should be nearly straight and the hands should point away from the body. The head should be in a neutral position. The shoulders should be fully extended to ensure the hand balance is straighter. In the hand stand position the feet should point towards the back of the head so that the body is in a curled position
shoulder balance
To perform a shoulder
balance the person should lie on their back and put their feet straight up in
the air. They should then bend their knees to their chest while keeping their
arms on the floor. To build momentum they should rock back and forth until they
are able to roll onto their shoulders and lift their buttocks up into the air.
They should then try and get their toes to face the ceiling and try to make a
straight line from the hips to the toes. Then place your hands on the middle of
the back to support it.

Head/hand balance
The person should go on their hunkers on a
mat. Then place their hands shoulder width apart. Then they should place their
head slightly further so they are able to make a stable base. It should look
like the base of a tripod. You should try and have the body nearly evenly
distributed between the arms and head. You should raise one knee until it is on
top of one elbow. Then lift your second knee until it is on top of the second
elbow. This is known as the tripod. When you are confident with this position
you should go for the leg extension into the full head stand.

Jump/land/roll sequence
This is a combination of the three different
gymnastic movements and it can be very useful for breaking a fall. First the child jumps straight up in the air from two feet. They must bend the knees, swing back the arms, jump of the balls of the feet and swing the arms forward. This is how the jump should be performed. Then for the landing the child must land on the balls of the feet, bend the knees and lean forward. Then lastly for this roll if you are rolling to the right side you should land with your left foot forward, tilt your head to the left and bend the knees. Then tuck your body
from the right shoulder to the left hip. After you tuck you roll forward and keep your knees tucked until your feet touch the ground. You should be rolling on the back of your right shoulder.

Forward roll
In order to perform a forward roll you start of standing on the balls of the feet balancing in a squat position while holding your arms out in front. Then lean forward placing your hands on the ground about shoulder width apart. Then place your head on the floor, tuck it in and push your momentum forward. Do this slowly on to the back of the shoulder region. Push of the ground with your feet so you will roll forward. Also try and keep the legs tucked while you roll. Push off with the hands and try to get back onto the balls of the feet. Then reach your forward in order to maintain your
balance.
Backward roll
Firstly get into a squat position. Place your feet about shoulder width apart and keep your back straight. Then move your weight to the back of the heels which will start you to fall back. Then tuck your chin to your chest and start curling your back. Push off with your shoulders and place your hands to the ground while bending your elbows towards the ceiling. Then push off with your hands and straighten out the arms. Your hips will rise up and your body should roll over your head. Try and get the feet to land on the floor and try and finish in the squat position.
Hand balance/body extended
To perform a hand balance arms should be shoulder width a part. The arms should be nearly straight and the hands should point away from the body. The head should be in a neutral position. The shoulders should be fully extended to ensure the hand balance is straighter.The body should be in a straight from arms to legs. Engaging the core will help
this. For a basic hand balance position legs should be together and straight.

Cart wheel
Either pretend or else draw a line on the floor. Then place your
two feet on the line at a bit further than shoulder’s width apart. Then
straighten your arms above your head with the palms pointing forwards. Try and keep the elbows nearly straight. Put one foot facing the direction you are going and leave one foot a bit straighter as this will improve balance. Then look at the spot where you are going to put your arms. Start the cart wheel by placing
your hand that is on the side of your pointed toe. Push of this arm until you are balancing on two arms and make a v-shape with your hands. Try to keep the back straight. When you are upside down you should look at your arms. You should then land on the foot that is opposite the one that left the ground first and
then stand up straight pushing your thumbs into the air

Jump for height
The first jump is from two feet to two feet. For this jump the child must bend the knees,swing back the arms jump of the balls of the feet, swing the arms forward, throw arms straight up in the air, then land on two feet bending the knees. The child should get as low in order to get maximum power into the jump. The more power in the lower body the higher the child will be able to push themselves of the ground.
