Trampolining

Physical Education

• The first-grade child has learned basic trampoline safety rules, such as not bouncing too close to the edges and always jumping with bare feet.
• They have developed coordination and body awareness through various trampoline exercises and movements.
• The child has learned and practiced basic trampoline skills, such as bouncing, landing, and jumping in different directions.
• They have gained physical strength and stamina through continuous jumping and bouncing on the trampoline.

For continued development, encourage the child to explore more complex trampoline skills and tricks, such as tucks, pikes, and twists. They can also try incorporating music and rhythm into their trampoline routines, creating their own mini performances. Additionally, setting up small obstacle courses or challenges on the trampoline can further enhance their coordination and problem-solving skills.
