Today was a great day for tumbling/gymnastics! A lot of new exercises were introduced and a few old ones were brought back!
After warming up, the kids were doing the CHICKEN LIMBO!
Ms. Mo had them hold their back (just above their hiney), lift their chin, and bend their knees slightly. While leaning back they were to do the CHICKEN LIMBO!
The class has dwindled down to just a hand full now. Hopefully it will continue throughout the summer!
This was the tip-toe rope walk, which looked to be difficult because the rope would roll as they tip-toed across it.
Over on the long mat, Ms. Mo had a sort of game going. She had a large spinner with different animals on it and each of the kids spun the spinner to see what animal they were to be. Then they were to act out the animal that they got! Above Isabel is doing a snail and she did a great job at it too!
Working their way around the room the kids went from each exercise set up, there was: Chicken limbo, the tip-toe rope walk, a log-leaping course, hop scotch, a dismount exercise and then the animal game. After the kids went around the room on their own for awhile, Ms. Mo gathered them at the long mat…
They were told (and shown) that today they were going to forward roll all the way down the mat! Up to this point the kids were only doing one forward roll at a time. So this was more of a challenge to get the proper technique of the forward roll and continuing it all the way down the mat!
Almost there!
The marker scent today was marshmallow!
