Educational Resource — Primary Physical Education — UD14: Balances and juggling

This didactic unit aims to make an approximation to the work of balances and juggling skills. It is a very attractive content for kids, since it can also serve as a leisure alternative. It is a didactic unit that fits perfectly in rural areas, since the small number of students and the age difference will not be a problem. Addressing mainly contents of blocks 1 (Individual motor actions), and 5 (Actions with artistic or expressive intentions) according to the new division proposed at the root of the LOMCE. The only goal is to have fun and surpass yourself. Jugglers develop skill, concentration, balance, coordination and above all patience. • Learn to accept failure, and see failures as the only way to improve. He'll bend down to pick up the balls many times... • Check how great things are achieved little by little. First you learn one movement, then another and another, and in the end everything comes together in an incredible way. • Experience the importance of constancy and not surrender. You don‘t get it in a day or two, but it doesn’t take a month either... • And best of all, convince yourself that we can get anything with a little practice! Juggling is not easy, you do not need a special talent (if we do not want to be professionals of this), but it does require practice until you acquire a certain skill. In practice and in the discipline of work is the secret of juggling. In this unit you advance in the game work with three balls, diabolo, devil’s stick, and tightrope or slack-line.
