Balance It — The eBook
Category: Sport Skills · 61-page printable PDF · Ages 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 · Free for ConnectedPE members
Over 60 self-directed balance task cards spanning individual holds, paired balances, balances of 3 and 5, and larger group balances — a complete print-and-go balance and gymnastics unit in one 61-page eBook by Jarrod Robinson.
The progression is the point: students start with static individual holds, build core strength and body awareness, then move into partner and group work where cooperation, trust and communication carry as much weight as the balance itself. That makes the later cards double as team-building — a class that can hold a five-person balance has learned more than gymnastics. Mapped to AC9HPE4M01 and AC9HPE6M01 for Years 3–8.
Pairs with the Balance It app (iOS + Android) so students can self-direct in class and extend at home. Use the eBook as a full gymnastics unit, a recurring warm-up bank, or a stations resource — the cards are illustrated and self-explanatory, so students run themselves while you spot and coach.
What students learn
Students develop static and dynamic balance across 60+ task cards — progressing from individual holds through to balances with partners and larger groups — building core strength, body awareness, cooperation and confidence.
