Badminton in class 3- devising our own games.

For the last session of the term children were split into randomly generated groups and asked to devise a game/ activity based on badminton skills they had learned over the term.The children were limited with space and equipment as all 28 were playing at once.

Once a game had been devised it was demonstrated to the class who would then play it later and evaluate it.

Groups included throwing, catching, aiming as well as racket skills.

Agility was also included.

Time now for a round robin of events.

Groups rotated round trying all activities.

At the end we evaluated and discussed what was successful and what could be improved. The main thing for improvement was time- groups needed more time for everybody to have a tune at some activities.I was very impressed and will use some of the ideas next year when we do badminton again.
