PE in April

As the weather warms up we will start going outside more for class. A great backyard activity that is fun for the whole family is Badminton. We have started learning about the game and practicing serving and hitting. I start out teaching this activity in PreK. We start out using paddles and balloons and progress to paddles and birdies. In 1st grade we still use paddles and progress to racquets in 2nd grade. A badminton set up is afford and can be purchased at Walmart or Academy. Pictured below are some of our 1st and 2nd graders practicing their serves and returns. Next month I will post pictures of our middle schoolers playing games.
