Teaching Tips, Assessments & Differentiation Strategies

Fun Stunts Warm Up Video

(Army Crawl, Inchworm, Seal Walk, Crab Walk, Bunny Jump, Frog Jump, Bear Walk, Elephant Walk.)
Choose 4 fun stunt locomotor skills.  Put one on each corner of the boundaries.  As the children travel from corner to corner, they will use the fun stunt on the cone to travel to the next cone!  Change the cards during the activity to make the warm up more fun!  Use music to encourage the students to move.

Get a mat and put it in an own space.  

Create a balance and rolling routine. Begin with a side roll, after you finish your roll, smoothly a balance on three body parts and after holding the balance for 3 seconds, do a different side roll from the balance finishing on the same surface and in the same shape you started the roll.

Forward Roll Video

Give the following directions while the students stand at their mat listening.  If possible have a video demo available for the students to watch before they try it.  While they watch the video, ask the students to identify the body parts the example is transferring their weight to as they roll.  This will help create the association between the skill of rolling and transferring their weight.

• When you do a forward roll you begin with your weight on your feet, bend your knees to move to a low level and take your weight onto your hands and feet, transfer your weight to the back of your shoulders and both hands, keep going and transfer your weight to your back, and then seat and back to your feet.  
• Feet to hands and shoulders to back to seat to feet!
• As you do this, be sure to keep your chin tucked into your chest whenever you roll across the back of your head neck and back. point this out on the video if you have one.

Have the students practice this task so that only one student works on the mat at a time with NO spotting. They should be able to do this on their own. It is important to have at least one mat for every student. Give your students plenty of time to practice the forward roll.

 
FORWARD ROLL (description) As you do this, be sure to keep your chin tucked into your chest whenever you roll across the back of your head neck and back.

STARTING POSITION assume a forward squatting position on the mat with the knees and feet together, arms lightly touching the outside of the legs, and the hands shoulder-width apart with the fingers or finger tips touching the mat and facing forward.

PERFORMANCE Tuck the chin to the chest and round the back. Roll forward in a tuck position lifting the hips and pushing with the balls of the feet. Use the arms and hands to support the body so the back of the neck barely touches the mat. Roll forward onto the shoulders, rounded back, buttocks, and feet. Remain in a tuck position throughout the Forward Roll by grabbing the shins, and keeping the heels close to the buttocks.

FINISHING POSITION End in a forward squatting position on the mat with the head up, knees and feet together, arms lightly touching the outside of the legs, and the hands shoulder-width apart with the fingers or finger tips touching the mat and facing forward.

• Discuss how to keep body and chin tucked as you roll across the back, so that when the feet come down, they stay in close to their seat, which makes it easier to stand up without using their hands.

IMPORTANT TEACHING SUGGESTIONS

• Take time in the introductory lesson to individually assess the proper starting position for each student and make necessary changes.
• Emphasize the importance of tucking the chin to the chest and rounding the back  throughout the Forward Roll.
• Encourage the students to lift the hips and push off with the balls of the feet at the  beginning of the Forward Roll.
• Stress the necessity of staying in a tight; tuck position throughout the Forward Roll.
• Use the teaching cue “hug the legs!’ to help the students understand and maintain the proper tuck position.

Differentiation Strategies:

Easier: DO NOT force students to do the rolls.  If any student is concerned,they can continue to practice a side roll while the others practice a forward roll.

Harder: Have the students practice the forward roll and various side rolls.  How many different Shapes can you make as you roll sideways or forward and still transfer your weight safely.

• Choose four body parts to balance on, after you hold that balance for three seconds, do a  roll and complete your roll on the four body parts you balanced on to begin the roll.
• Begin with a forward roll, after you finish your roll, smoothly find a balance on four body parts and after holding the balance for 3 seconds, do a roll from the balance finishing in the same balance.
• Choose 3 parts to balance on, hold your balance for three seconds, do a roll and finish on those same three parts!
• Choose one body part to balance on, do a roll and finish with a balance on the same body part you started on.
• Choose a balance, do a roll and finish with the same balance you started with.

Give the students enough time to find a couple answers to each problem in part three.
Assessment Strategy:

• As the students are working on the problems, visually assess that they are rolling safely and balancing on the correct number of parts.
• ask the students to describe their balance and what direction their roll is; forward or sideways.

Choose three stretches to do with your class.

Review

Describe how to transfer your weight when you’re doing a forward roll.

Turn to a partner and describe your last balance and roll routine.  Tell them about your balance and what type of a roll you did.
