Everyone bemoans the decline of school gymnastics.
In Canada schools that do a good job including “gymnastics” in the curriculum are the minority.
Ruschkin publishes 60 excellent school lesson plans for teachers of grades 1-6.
And Gymnastics British Colombia offers a program for the schools called Kids Can Move that champions the benefits of gymnastics for students.
Schools are offered a guest gymnastics instructor for 7hrs, a resource manual, additional materials, insurance and more. The cost is only C$100 — a very good deal.
For free, under “Resources” on the home page, you can download a number of good articles on school gymnastics. Not surprisingly, they recommend Ruschkin’s Up Down All Around lesson plans.
