Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Learners stand shoulder width apart. Let them transfer weight from the feet to the hands sideways by bending the trunk laterally and placing the hand on the ground after warm-ups and demonstration. Transfer weight momentarily from feet to one hand to the other in hand stand position. This process is continuous rotational movement of the body through landing on both feet and back to standing position with control (cartwheel). Learners practice with support and feedback. Allow learners to progress at their own pace. End lesson with cool-down.
