Activity of the Term is a warm up game, which can be used across multiple year levels in Primary and Secondary… we love this as a great little game to introduce tennis to Kinders & Preps!
- Define a playing area with cones, or just use the open space.
- Students fine a safe space on their own with one tennis ball.
- When ready, the students throw the ball into the air with an underarm throwing action, clap once, allow the ball to bounce on the ground, and then catch with two hands.
- After successfully completing this sequence, students then attempt to clap twice.
- Students are then attempting to complete as many ‘claps’ as possible whilst still maintaining control.
Tip: Progression can be that the ball is not permitted to bounce. To increase the difficulty, you can say that students are not allowed to move their feet after throwing the ball up.
