Getting Started with Balance It
Balance It is designed to support flexible delivery in any learning environment — from whole-class instruction to small group or individual use. Whether you're running a warm-up, skill-building session, or full routine performance, there's a delivery mode to suit your teaching style.
1. Teacher-Led Mode (Single Device or Projector)
Perfect for full-class instruction or group demonstrations.
How it works:
- Use your device or project Balance It onto a screen.
- Select a balance card, interactive game, or routine for the whole class to follow.
- Guide students through each activity step-by-step.
- Use this mode for quick transitions, warm-ups, group challenges, or focused instruction.
Best for:
- Whole-class delivery
- Structured lessons
- Live demonstrations and group performance
2. Student-Driven Mode (Own Devices or Stations)
Encourage autonomy, exploration, and self-paced learning.
How it works:
- Students work independently or in small groups using their own devices.
- Let them progress through balance cards, build routines, or engage with interactive games.
- Use student activity sheets or printable cards to support offline tasks or learning stations.
Best for:
- PE stations or circuits
- Differentiated learning
- Self-directed challenges and progress tracking
3. Print & Go Mode (Printable Resources)
Support offline or low-tech environments with printable options.
How it works:
- Print task cards, routine planners, or assessment sheets.
- Set up physical task stations or hand them out for reflection tasks.
- Ideal for use in classrooms without student devices or to complement screen-based activities.
Best for:
- No-device zones
- Quick setup activities
- Portfolio-style assessment and journaling
Pro Tip: Mix & Match
Many teachers use a hybrid approach — introducing poses via projector, then rotating students through self-guided stations or challenges with their own devices or printouts.
Balance It was made to fit the way you teach — not the other way around. However you use it, the goal remains the same: help every student move, grow, and succeed.
