Activities are varied, and incorporate gymnastics skills and yoga shapes, which are structured to enable children to develop:

• Locomotor skills – roll/step/gallop
• Non-locomotor skills – twist/turn/balance
• Hand apparatus skills – hold/catch/dribble with various equipment.
• Body related skills – using whole body, body parts
• Body actions – moving/not moving/balance
• Body shapes – tall/arch/straddle/star.

These different elements combine to help the participants develop an increased understanding of body movement in its different forms and also creates an awareness of how the body can be used to achieve an objective, such as creating a star shape or balancing the body on one foot.

The sessions also incorporate spatial related activities which involve the recognition and use of personal space and general space, such as underneath or at the side of, while also looking to develop a sense of direction e.g. forward/backward/along. This helps participants to develop a sense of spatial awareness when performing individual activities e.g. standing behind a piece of apparatus in preparation to jump onto it and also a sense of direction e.g. jumping forward onto the piece of apparatus.

Interaction related activities are used to improve recognition of space e.g. up/down/towards/away from and these activities are either done independently, with a friend or as a group, with a focus on different group formation such as spread out, in a circle or in a line. Activities vary in each session so that participants get to practice working independently, in pairs and as a group in varying formations.

Individual session structure starts with a general active warm-up with mobilisation, followed by action, balance and co-ordination skills built around a topic or theme appropriate to the age range of the children, with a cool down to finish, including light flexibility and relaxation exercises.
