Skill Game Gymnastics Activities for Year 2

Partners take turns adding movements to build increasingly complex sequences while testing memory and cooperation

Partners adapt their floor sequences to work safely on different pieces of low apparatus

Explore creating zig-zag pathways using gymnastics apparatus, mats and floor space

Students create flowing movement sequences using multiple pieces of apparatus with creative freedom

A timed teamwork challenge where groups safely set up gymnastics apparatus following strict safety protocols

A listening and reaction game where students move according to instructions then quickly find back-to-back partners

Create and perform sequences combining balances with travelling actions

Partners take turns showing different balances without repeating previous ones

Children jump from benches aiming to land accurately on targets while maintaining safe technique

Students work individually and in pairs to create letters with their bodies, progressing to spelling words

Progressive distance jumping challenge with measurement and improvement focus

Partner activity where one child balances while the other carefully places equipment on them, like the classic Buckaroo game

A fun coordination challenge where children hop through hoops like bunny rabbits, developing hand-foot coordination and upper body strength

Imaginative movement game where children act out ship commands developing specific gymnastics skills

Groups perform travelling movements in sequence creating a wave-like conveyor belt effect

Groups work together to pass a hoop along a line using body control and coordinated rolling movements

Fun activity developing coordination and strength through crab position movement and races

Children create and perform their own 3-movement jumping sequences incorporating different types of jumps

Open exploration of movement linking with partner sharing and peer learning

Students create and perform sequences combining curled travelling movements with direction changes and balances.

Team relay activity where students transfer equipment between hoops using different travelling methods

Students create and perform movement sequences that flow smoothly from start to finish with clear structure

Students create and practice sequences containing balance, jump, roll and travelling movements using apparatus

Structured activity for creating and performing linked gymnastic movement sequences
