• Check the space and the kit.
• Get your child's attention first.
• Show it from two sides.
• Say one thing only.
• End on one that works.

Put the phone down where you can see it. Tap Next with your thumb, or use the arrow keys.

Is the space marked?

• A start spot
• A mat edge
• Chalk marks for hands and feet

A soft mat, with a folded mat under one end as a gentle downhill.

Three minutes to get warm.

Easy jogging on the spot, then arms and legs. How to warm up well is explained at workonfitness.com.

1. Squat at the top of the downhill, hands flat on the mat a shoulder-width apart, fingers forward.
2. Lift the bottom high and tuck the chin to the chest so you look at your belly.
3. Push gently with the feet and roll over the back of the head and shoulders.
4. Stay tucked and roll up onto the feet to stand.

Show it once from the front and once from the side, slowly. Then let your child try.

1. Hold a tuck; rock back and forth.
2. From a squat on the downhill: hands flat, fingers forward.
3. Bottom high, chin tucked.
4. Roll over the back of the head and shoulders, never the top of the head.
5. Push with the feet and roll like a ball to standing.

How much: 5 rolls, 3 rounds

Chin to chest

Hoop reach

Points

2 points for a roll up to standing without help; 1 point for reaching through the hoop.

Fouls

The roll scores nothing, and the next one is with your help: the top of the head touches the mat; the hands push off with the fingers backward; stopping halfway and falling sideways

Well played.
