This is one drill I use to teach beginners to do front giants for the first time. I believe in teaching front and back giants at the same time. Even though USA JO gymnasts can’t compete a front giant until level 9, young gymnasts love these drills!

I’d go so far as to say we should be introducing forward giant first with girls. As we often do with boys. It’s more difficult, but less “scary”. Also, less problematic. When the girls can do both, they’ll make far fewer errors on forward giant than backward.
I’d do John Smith’s sole circle drills first, however, to get the kids comfortable in undergrip.
