This lesson plan focuses on ninja rolls, handstands and cartwheels.

Results Statement: By completing this lesson plan, you will effectively accomplish a 30-minute virtual session. All families should be notified in advance what materials they may need (a soft surface, a towel, etc.)

Begin the class by asking the children: “What is your favorite thing to do outside?”

Make sure you know the names of each child. People can be renamed in Zoom if that helps you to remember.
