Gymnast
My coworker is buying a small bar and gymnastics mat for her daughter's 7th birthday, and I'm going over to help entertain the kids/run a gymnastics-themed birthday party for an hour or two. I'm a gymnast myself and coached rec for a few years, and fully intend on giving the always-be-super-careful-with-at-home-equipment speech, so it won't be a free for all with kids running around hurting themselves (in case you're cringing at the idea of a self-run gymnastics party).
Does anyone have ideas of things I can do with the kids that are still gymnastics-y or dance-y but require little to no equipment? They're 6-7 years old and there will be about 7 of them. The birthday girl has done a bit of rec gymnastics but nothing major, and I don't imagine the other kids will have much experience. It's been a while since I coached so I've forgotten a lot of games!
Thanks!!
