I work for the park district and I have been selected to teach our Tumbling class because I have the most experience with that, that experience = I am a girl. I have only watched Gymnastics on TV. I will have 6 girls, ages 5-7 years old. None of them have any experience, and are not hard core into gymnastics. I don't have any major equipment, just some floor mats and possibly a mini trampoline. The class is an hour once a week for 4 weeks. Can anyone give me some advice on what to teach, or some different resources that I can check out and put together something?

Maybe you shouldn't be teaching, you could seriously injure one of the students

i was in gymnastics when i was like nine so maybe this will help. teach them how to do forward rolls, backwards rolls, kartwheels, roundoffs, if thier good maybe backflip but i doubt it. splits (both sides and middle) and backbends

First of all you need a bigger trampoline next you need to learn how to spot them on back handsprings or cartwheel round-offs etc.
