ShuttlETimeSchools Badminton LESSON PLANS – 10 STARTER LESSONSLesson 1Basic GripsTeacher’s GoalsPupil’s GoalsThe purpose of this lesson is to introduce the:By the end of the lesson the pupils will be able to: sport of badminton; describe what badminton is like; backhand “thumb” grip and forehand “v” grip; demonstrate two grips used in badminton; importance of reach. demonstrate a relaxed reach when striking the shuttle(or soft ball / balloon).EquipmentTeaching Situation / Context Balloons – at least one for each pupil. Preferably the lesson should be taken inside – but it is possible to take outside– you will possibly need to use shuttles / bean bags instead of balloons or putless air in the balloons. No nets are required for this lesson. Rackets – one for each pair (one each if possible). Shuttles – one per child. DVD player if possible.
ShuttlETimeSchools Badminton LESSON PLANS – 10 STARTER LESSONSLesson 1: Basic GripsPhase / TimeActivityMain Teaching PointsVariations ( Harder, Easier)Introduction(10 min)Pupils observe: Pupils are asked to describethe sport, supported byquestioning from teacher –example responses – over anet, volleying, hit hard and soft,changes of direction, jump,fast, smash. Open questions –example – “can youdescribe what the sportof badminton is like? Closed questions: a live badminton match or avideo clip of badminton; singles and doubles.Safety If observing a live match,make sure the group is a safedistance from the court. Is badminton a fast game? How many doublesdisciplines are there? Do players change theshuttle in a match? or teacher simplydescribes the maincharacteristics.Balloon tap(5 min)L1 – V1 Every second pupil is given aballoon. They must run in pairs“tapping” the balloon withtheir hands to avoid the balloontouching the floor. Progression – each pupil hasa partner and they must movetrying to tap the balloon withtheir racket hand only. Blow up the balloons beforethe session. Vary the distance between thepartners, according to level. Change directions usingchasses if appropriate. Begin with walking pace. Keep pairs well spaced apart. Begin exercise only when theteacher blows the whistle /gives signal.
ShuttlETimeSchools Badminton LESSON PLANS – 10 STARTER LESSONSLesson 1: Basic GripsPhase / TimeActivityMain Teaching PointsVariations ( Harder, Easier)Balloon taprelay game(10 min) Pupils work in teams (up tosix pupils in a team). Line upat one end of the hall. Eachteam is given a balloon. Eachpupil in the team must rundown the hall and back tappingthe balloon with their handsto prevent the balloon fromtouching the floor – and passesthe balloon to the next personin the team. Pupils need to find the rightfeeling for controlling theballoon instead of just trying tohit it hard. L1 – V2 The distance of the course mayvary (suggest 20 metres).Safety If pupils can do thisexercise well, they couldtry this game using aracket (only one racketper team). Progression – complete thesame exercise using rackets.Backhandthumb gripwith balloon(10 min)L1 – V3Forehand –basic (“V”)grip withballoon(10 min)L1 – V4 Teacher demonstrates thethumb grip. Working with a balloon and aracket, children asked to keepballoon up in the air with backof hand leading and moving upand away from the body. Teacher demonstrates the basic(“V”) grip. Working with a balloon anda racket, children asked tokeep balloon up in the air withbasic grip. Emphasise thumb grip. Encourage creativeroutine – example –standing, on one knee,both knees, sitting, lyingdown getting back up. Use very short grip(“T” piece of racket). As above As above Back of hand leading andmoving up and away fromthe body. Do not need to use nets. Fingers are well spread. Hit the balloon in front of body. Check there is a V shapebetween thumb and forefinger. Do not need to use nets. Keep group well spaced apart. Keep group well spaced apart.

Change from 3-3 to 2-2 andthen to alternate changebetween the two grips. If executing shots wellmake it into competitivegame and countsuccessful shots. Progressto alternate forehand andbackhand. Reinforce correcttechnique. Use questioning to checkachievement of lessongoals. Teacher explains anddemonstrates onceagain to reinforce mainteaching points.L1 – V5Summary /cool down(5 min) Working with a balloon and aracket children asked to keepballoon in the air three timeswith thumb grip and then threetimes with basic grip. Pupils stretch out fully on thefloor and discuss lesson. Teacher reviews main pointsof lesson. Hand moves towards the shuttle. Do not need to use nets. Badminton is a “volleying”game over a net with hard andsoft shots, changes of direction,jumps and fast movements etc. Backhand and forehand grip(demonstrate again). Hit with elbow away from thebody and move the racketactively towards the shuttle.Safety Recommend use of balloons orsponge balls – safety issues.

Start with walking paceand slowly build upparallel movement only. Chasseing parallel,diagonal (forward andbackward) movement. feet don’t have to be parallel toeach other for a chasse; Safety Maintain safe distance betweenchildren when moving acrossthe floor. the use of chasse steps forparallel, diagonal (forward andbackward) movements.Mirror chase(10 min)L2 – V1Mirrorchase withthrowing(game)(10 min)L2 – V2 Keep the group wellspaced apart. Pupils are divided into pairsfacing each other. One pupil isthe “leader” and the other oneis the “chaser”. Using chassesteps, the “leader” moveslaterally and changes directionstrying to escape from the“chaser”. The “chaser” mustfollow and try to keep up withthe “leader”. Use only short distances tochasse (avoid over-chasseing) Encourage straight posturewith knees slightly flexed. Chasseing only onparallel line. Pupils remain in pairs facingeach other. One pupil holdsa bean bag (or shuttle) and isthe “leader”.The “chaser” mustfollow. The “leader” throwsthe bean bag and the “chaser”tries to catch it and return it. Change roles and partners onteacher’s signal. Throwing with “racketarm” only. Keep the pairs of pupils wellspaced apart. Throw with two hands. Allocate partners in terms ofskill level / ability. Change roles often (30-40 sec). Approximately 3 metresbetween partners. Allocate partners in terms ofskill level / ability.
