Learning Activities/Teaching Strategies-

Gymnastic Showcase
• Explain that we are going to have a project where we are
combining everything that we have been working on
throughout our time together- being able to work as a team
and support one another; building muscles; having a
strong base.
• The project will be three groups (I will pick), each group
will create their own routine doing pyramids to preform to
the rest of the class.
• They will pick 3-5 pyramids to preform between the two
man, three man and four man pyramids that we have been
practicing-after picking the pyramids the group will have
decide who is doing what. Have to have a minimum of two
spotters, want everyone in the group to be part of the
pyramid at some point-can not only be a spotter.
• Once they know their pyramids they have to find a way to
transition from pyramid to pyramid smoothly-dance, slow
motion, have different levels etc. Will go through some
different ways as a group.
• Lastly the group will have to come up with music to go
with their routine-has to be approved by both Mrs. Charchun and I.
• Safety doing pyramids:
o Know who your spotters are-this
needs to be decided before trying to
do the pyramids.
o No socks, bare feet only
o Do the pose in the middle of the
mats-if you fall, will fall onto the
mats.
o Think about weak parts of the body
vs strong & engaging muscles.
o Listen to our body-stop if it hurts or
feels uncomfortable
• Ensure that students are working well
together and allowing everyone to
participate evenly and being supportive.
• Are the students doing the activities
correctly or are they being silly and
reckless.

Closing & Questions (5-7 min)

• Collect the group back together and have a discussion about time and where everyone is at-whether we will be
preforming Tuesday or Thursday. After we decide have the group play a quick game of Willy Wonka Tag.

Equipment Safety Considerations

• Mats • No socks, bare feet only.
• 2, 3, 4 man pyramid sheets • Make sure that students are following the
safety rules we have set out-in the middle
of the mat; have spotters; being aware &
listening to our bodies.
