I am hoping someone could offer some advice or tactics for keeping 3 and 4 year olds engaged, quiet, and attentive in a recreational gymnastics class. Usually we try to keep the class fun, offering various obstacle courses that focus on the skills of the week. We have also tried having the kids divide into small groups to do balance beam work or floor work, for example. Neither approach keeps the children quiet and attentive, even though we keep the class moving and never have any down time. The class is 45 minutes long, starting with a small warm-up, then moving on to floor work, trampolines, bars, and balance beam. Does anyone have suggestions of what works in their gyms for this age group? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
