Trampoline

Physical Education

• The child has learned basic coordination skills by jumping on the trampoline and maintaining balance.
• They have developed their gross motor skills through the repetitive jumping motions and landing safely on the trampoline surface.
• The activity has helped improve their strength and flexibility as they engage their muscles while jumping and landing.
• By using the trampoline, the child has also learned about body control and spatial awareness.

For continued development, encourage the child to explore different jumping techniques on the trampoline, such as jumping higher or trying different jumps like tucks or twists. You can also introduce simple games like bouncing a ball on the trampoline or creating obstacle courses to jump over.
