Skill Game Gymnastics Activities for KS2

Individual gymnastics work on apparatus focusing specifically on asymmetrical body shapes and movements

Partner stations activity creating bridge balances on different pieces of apparatus

Partner sequence creation combining travelling and balancing on apparatus with canon timing

Students practice jumping for maximum height from low apparatus using proper technique

Creative exploration of jumping movements on, over, along and from various apparatus with focus on technique and safety

Students explore rolling movements on, across, and around low apparatus to create flowing sequences

Pairs create flowing sequences linking multiple partner balances with smooth transitions

Creative sequence building combining controlled balances with rotation jumps

Teams create moving bridges while rolling balls through, developing timing and teamwork

Partner activity where one creates bridges while the other explores movements over and under

Groups work together to select and test skill elements that all members can perform, developing inclusive decision-making

Cooperative partner balances exploring different connections while maintaining symmetry

Pairs create and teach core muscle exercises to the class, building knowledge and leadership skills
