Abstract

Gymnastics is included in the physical education at all school levels. Gymnastic skills learned in the gymnastic games may specifically contribute to the development of pupils’ skills, promote physical literacy level, contribute to the development of selected components of physical fitness and stimulate movement creativity. Nowadays the concept of gymnastics as an apparatus exercises, is not enough included in school physical education programs. The reasons are: unsatisfactory range of teachers preparation, traditional teaching methods or no equipment and apparatus at school gyms. One possible significant changes in the approach of teaching is to use gymnastic games and newly designed types of equipment and programs created under the concept of curriculum Gymnastics for all (GFA).Gymnastic games along with modern apparatus are attractive, appealing and inspiring for specific movement skills. They improve safety of training, and expand the range of creativity. We assume that the modernization and inovation of teaching gymnastics through gymnastic games will develop pupils’ competence,increase the level of physical literacy, increase the number of skills and becomes an important motivation for lifelong physical activity leading to a healthy lifestyle.
