Gymnastics lesson plan (basic shapes) - Resources included - Year 7

Gymnastics lesson plan - basic shapes. This is a comprehensive lesson plan on basic shapes in gymnastics. This lesson is most suitable for students on their first unit of gymnastics (year 7). I also have a unit of work available here for year 7.

The lesson includes:

• Warm up
• The 7 basic shapes and examples
• Independent/teacher led tasks
• Basic shapes task cards with clear illustrations and teaching points
• Quiz Quiz trade basic shapes plenary
• AFL
• Evaluation opportunities
• Objectives and levels
• Organisational points

Easily could be used as an observation lesson.

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.

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.

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.

The next lesson in this unit is gymnastics lesson 2- rotations .
