KS2 Wellbeing - Juggling

We created Well-being units to support our schools in delivering alternative activities to the more commonly taught PE games. This video guides teachers in delivering basic juggling skills to KS2 pupils. Juggling is often a novel activity for children, but it is fun and challenges their coordination and concentration.

Teaching points for beginners juggling

  1. Start with one ball creating a consistent arc from one hand to the other
  2. Maintain a relaxed stance
  3. Maintain your hands a waist level with elbows in to the body
  4. Introduce the second ball, start with one ball in each hand
  5. Toss one ball in an arc, then toss the second ball when the first starts to descend
  6. When ready add the third ball
  7. Begin with two balls in your dominant hand and one in the other. Toss one ball from the dominant hand, then alternate throws following the same arc
