More About This Unit
What do our 3rd Grade Gymnastics lesson plans cover?
In Grade 3 Gymnastics, students should learn, develop, and combine the key elements required to perform gymnastic sequences, with sequences becoming longer and more effective.
Our 3rd Grade Gymnastics lessons improve the accuracy and consistency of linking shapes, balances, and traveling. Children are encouraged to be creative and experiment with changes in dynamics when working in pairs and groups.
Why are Gymnastics lessons important for elementary-age children?
Gymnastics lessons are an essential element to elementary school PE. They can offer endless opportunities, as well as developing balance, agility and coordination, flexibility, strength, technique, and control. These motor competence components are valuable, and transferable, in all other sports, as well as helping promote children to lead healthy, active lifestyles.
Elementary School Gymnastics is also great for building confidence, developing social skills, and allowing children to recognize and celebrate their successes.
