The teacher takes attendance while students do their warm up.

Body (15 min):

Learning Activity #1: Service Review and practice

Have students remind you of best service practice.

Service Rules:
1. The head of the racket must be below your waist when the face strikes (hits) the shuttle (no overhand serves)
2. You must be behind the service line when serving (it is the closest white line parallel to the net)
3. Your serve must go over the net and pass the oppositions service line
4. Serves must go cross-court during game play, unless playing half-court singles. (note: we do not worry about this rule
as we never play full court singles or doubles)
Best Service Habits:
1. Use VOS grip when serving
 2. Serve low to the net when serving short
3. Serve high when serving deep

Give students 3 minutes to serve with a partner like last lesson.

Transition
- Blow the whistle twice (signals to students to freeze and come gather where the teacher is)
Learning Activity #2: Demo and Explain Rallying

Explain and demo the proper way to rally with a partner (starting with a proper serve)
Rally - Explain and Demo
1. Stand across the net from a partner, only one person has a shuttle
2. Serve the shuttle following the service rules
3. Partner attempts to hit it back before it hits the ground
4. Continue hitting it back and forth as long as possible
Transition
Have students spread out along the badminton courts and nets
Learning Activity #3: Rallying Practice
Have students grab a partner and spread out along the 4 badminton nets
Students can then rally as described above.
Continue this for the rest of class time.

Teacher will move around the space and provide effectively, timely feedback to students as they rally with their partner.
Transition
- Blow whistle once and have students put away their equipment and line up at the door.
Modifications/Accommodations
Grade 1-2:
- Longer on the review and more than 3 minutes to practice serving. (approx. 4-5 minutes, depending on the class)
