πŸ“£ What Is Cheerleading?

Cheerleading got its start in the United States. Cheerleaders first cheered on sports teams from the sidelines, and today cheer is also a sport of its own with competitions. It mixes dance, jumps, tumbling and loud, fun chants. Teamwork is huge – when cheerleaders do stunts and lifts, they have to trust each other completely. And those bright, swishy pom-poms? They're the cheerleader's signature look.

🎨 Creative Tip: What to Do With the Finished Picture

Cut out your finished cheerleader and glue real strips of crepe paper onto the pom-poms so they swish like the real thing! It also makes a great cheer sign for a sibling's next game.
