Justin: What kind of gymnastics would you teach to a middle school PE class?
I have to come up with a unit lesson plan in gymnastics for a middle school PE class. It is for a project in school but I have never taken a gymnastics class so I don’t know what someone would teach to that age level. Would you teach some kind of floor drills, balance beam, vault?

Look up your state’s educational standards online. There will be a section for PE and approved gymnastics skills for the age level should be there. If you’ve never done gymnastics then your first concern must be the safety of the students. You can’t put kids on a piece of equipment that you can’t handle yourself. Keep them on the floor and maybe try some types of yoga poses.
