For beginners you should put your hand on your head and pretend you look like a rooster. (I'm serious) Then fall down. If your left arm is up then roll over your right SHOULDER. I can't stress enough about how many people think you roll oer your head or side. If your right arm is up then roll over your left SHOULDER. This is called a backwards shoulder roll. If you want a video search backwards shoulder roll.
I teach it this way:
Bend your knees quickly to lower your center of gravity.
Push with your feet to push your self in a backwards direction.
Pull your knees in toward your chest.
Pick a shoulder and side to roll over on, you can't go straight back over your head.
Tuck at least one of your feet under you as you come over and stand up.
