TumblePro 2" Urethane-Foam Rainbow Tumbling Mats
Our premium soft tumbling mats provide a safe spot for beginner tumbling classes, kids' gymnastics, elementary gym skills, and more. Fun Rainbow colors add excitement and can be used to designate a specific activity station or organize students and equipment.
These mats feature soft 2" thick urethane foam cores for supreme cushioning during low-impact activities. Due to their extreme softness, twe recommend these mats for use by students in grades K-4.
Mats feature a smooth, nylon-reinforced 14 oz antimicrobial vinyl covers that are flame-retardant, washable, and mildew-resistant. Double-reinforced nylon-stitched inside seams increase overall durability, maximize safety, and promote long mat life. These mats can withstand consistent use without losing shape.
Each mat includes 1-1/2" hook-and-loop fasteners on 2 ends, allowing you to join them together in a long run for a true rainbow effect! To preserve their integrity when not in use, mats conveniently fold in 1' or 2' sections for easy transportation and compact stacking storage.

25 TumblePro 2" Urethane-Foam Rainbow Tumbling Mat Activities
The following activities are designed to inspire movement, coordination, and fun using the TumblePro 2" Urethane-Foam Rainbow Tumbling Mats. These ideas are tailored to engage students in grades K-4, promoting both individual and group participation with plenty of energy and enthusiasm!
1. Mat Color Challenge: Call out a specific color on the mat and have students run, hop, or tumble their way to the designated color.
2. Animal Walk Parade: Assign students different animal movements like bear walks, crab walks, or frog jumps and have them parade across the mats. This activity builds basic body awareness and coordination.
3. Somersault to Color: Have students perform somersaults and stop when they reach a specific color on the mat. This helps them practice basic tumbling skills while making it fun.
4. Mat Pattern Hop: Lay out mats in a pattern. Students hop from mat to mat using different foot patterns (one foot, two feet, alternating feet), working on coordination and balance.
5. Rolling Train Tumbles: Students form a line and follow one another, performing a combination of rolls, jumps, and tumbles. This improves sequencing and timing.
6. Rainbow Roll Relay: Divide students into teams and have them roll across the Rainbow mats. This activity focuses on straight rolling and teamwork in a race format.
7. Forward Roll Circuit: Set up multiple mats in a circuit formation. Students complete a forward roll on each mat, jogging to the next mat after each roll to build fluid movement.
8. Tumble Dice Roll: Assign tumbling actions to different numbers on a large foam dice. Students roll the dice and perform the corresponding action, adding an element of unpredictability and fun.
9. Cartwheel Lane: Set up a row of connected mats where students practice cartwheels down the entire line, focusing on control and balance.
10. Zigzag Mat Balance: Place the mats in a zigzag pattern. Students must balance while walking along the edges of the mats, focusing on stability and coordination.
11. Tumble and Jump Maze: Set up mats in various formations and create pathways for students to follow. They must tumble through certain sections and jump over others, adding complexity to their movement.
12. Bridge Walk: Students perform a bridge (hands and feet on the ground, belly up) and must walk across the mats. This activity helps develop core strength and balance.
13. Gymnastic Pose Sequence: Have students perform a sequence of gymnastic poses (such as a balance, a lunge, and a jump) on different colored sections of the mats. The goal is to move smoothly from one pose to the next.
14. Log Roll Pathway: Create a long run of connected mats and have students log roll from one end to the other. Increase difficulty by adding a timer or having them switch directions halfway through.
15. Tumbling Tunnel Tag: Create tunnels with the mats by folding them into arches or stacking them. Students must crawl through the tunnels while avoiding being tagged by designated taggers outside the tunnels. This adds excitement while promoting agility and spatial awareness.
