Bunny hops teach children to weight bear on their hands, leading to more complex skills such as cartwheels and vaulting

## Bench Bunny Hops Teaching points

Bench bunny hop involves jumping with both feet together, with the hands momentarily supporting weight on the bench while moving feet over the bench.  It is a stepping stone to skill such as cartwheels and vaulting.

- Hands should be flat on or gripping the bench ready to take weight.
- Both feet on one side of the bench
- Push off the floor with both feet, jumping feet over the bench
- As the feet touch down reach forwards and place hands slightly further up the bench and repeat
- Tuck the knees slightly and bring the feet together to land softly
