<p>An A4 differentiated gymnastics balance task card students can use in a gymnastics lesson on balances or routines to copy the group of 5+ balances from. Easiest to hardest: Green, Yellow, Red , Purple. There is at least one balance for groups of 5, 6, 7, and 8.</p>
<p>I would only suggest purple to those that are really competent gymnasts and have done some sports acro before - otherwise lots of support would be required. I also would suggest support for those attempting red if they do not have a gymnastics background.</p>
<p>Recommendations for use:</p>
<ul>
<li>Give each group a copy of the resource and they can self differentiate</li>
<li>Give each group a copy and give them a colour to try based on their ability</li>
<li>Ask students to pick a balance and change one of the positions to create a new balance and show the class</li>
<li>Get students to adapt the balances for apparatus</li>

<p>This SOW was created to save time for busy teachers. You should be able to teach a lesson with minimal preparation, maybe watching a few videos before hand or printing out some resources. Please ensure you understand the health and safety aspects of gymnastics before teaching this unit. Refer to Teaching safe practice in Physical Education by BAALPE if need be.</p>
<p>The scheme has powerpoints, diagrams, animate GIFS, assessment levels, differentiation , teaching points, Assessment for learning/plenary activities, links to videos that show the skill, clear explanations of the tasks and all resources and links to the resources required via the lesson plan. No timings are included as each school can vary in terms of lesson time. They should provide enough tasks for lessons of 40 minutes and above.</p>
<p>I also have a set of lesson plans for individual gymnastics routines available <a href="https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gymnastics-lesson-plans-scheme-of-work-for-individual-routines-year-7-12015863">here</a>.</p>

<p>This lesson was created to save time for busy teachers and is made so teachers with little gymnastics experience can teach it just as well as those with lots. You should be able to teach a lesson with minimal preparation and I made these so in most cases they can be just picked up and taught.</p>
<p>All lessons have levelled outcomes. The levels are the old national curriculum levels 3-8 however they are easily editable and changeable to your own assessment levels.</p>
<p>Each lesson has assessment levels, diagrams, differentiation , clear teaching points, clear task explanations and afl opportunities. This lesson should provide enough tasks for lessons of 40 minutes and above.</p>
