Skill Game Gymnastics Activities for Year 6

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

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

Partner balancing activity combined with peer evaluation using technical gymnastics vocabulary

Partners create sequences combining leapfrogging with other gymnastic movements

An exploratory activity where groups experiment with creating and holding various group balances using different levels and formations

Creative activity where pairs design and perform 5-action sequences including inverted movements

Small groups create unison sequences while experimenting with different formations and pathways through space

Groups work collaboratively to integrate chosen equipment into existing gymnastic sequences

Partners create synchronized sequences using L-shaped pathways with travelling and balancing

Partner activity where students create synchronized balance sequences with clear leader and follower roles

Cooperative activity where students with different abilities work together to create adapted sequences that ensure everyone can succeed

Creative exploration and sequence building using safe partner balance techniques

Work with a partner to create four different balances using various body parts in contact with the floor

Partners work together to create interesting bridge balances using different levels and connection points

Partners perform synchronized movements with contrasting dynamics to develop cooperation and timing

Structured partner activity where students take turns performing and coaching gymnastics positions

Groups create three different canon sequences, each focusing on one type of action
