Objective: Egg roll

Gymnastics Unit | Level 6

TECHNIQUE
Today we are going to learn how to perform an egg roll.

IMPORTANCE
Performing an egg roll is important because it helps you practice the technique of curling into a ball, which is necessary when doing a forward roll. Curving the spine and shoulders also helps your body stretch and prevents back injuries.

VOCABULARY
Egg roll: a tumbling skill in gymnastics.

When performing an egg roll, it is important to:

PRACTICE

1. Spread out onto the field and curl your body up into a ball. When I say, “GO!” egg roll side to side for ten seconds.
2. Repeat as many times as needed.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Chicken Tag. Your goal is to egg roll when the chicken tags you.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will select one student to start out as the chicken (tagger) and one student as the egg scrambler (un-freezer).
• Before the game begins, spread out onto the field.
• When I say, “GO!” the chicken will try and tag you.
• The chicken may only use two-finger butterfly tags.
• If you are tagged or go out-of-bounds, you will be turned into an egg.
• When you are an egg, you must curl up into a ball and roll side to side.   
• You can only be freed if the egg scrambler comes by and cracks your egg open.
• We will begin a new game when I select a new chicken and a new egg scrambler.

TEACHING TIPS

• Approach:
  • Play on a half-field only. 
  • Depending on class size, increase the number of chickens and egg scramblers.
  • For increased difficulty, have students wear flags.
  • Have chickens and egg scramblers wear flags to tell who they are, or have them carry fuzzy balls.
