Keywords
Routine - a series of choreographed movements and skills performed and meeting certain requirements
Leader - someone who influences others to achieve their goals
Feedback - giving helpful suggestions on how someone can improve their performance
Common misconception
Performing group routines often means some members of the group may struggle with the choreography and therefore feel self-conscious and demotivated.
Stress to each group the importance of adapting choreography to suit the needs of everyone in the group. For example, some pupils could perform backward rolls whilst others perform a more basic roll. Or everyone may change the skill they perform.
