GAMES
RABBIT IN THE HOLE
Split the group into equal teams. Place an empty shuttle tube opposite each team at a suitable distance down the hall. Each team lines up in single file facing the tube. On the word go, one member of each team runs to the tube carrying a shuttle, they thread the shuttle through the tube, as many number of times as instructed, leaving the tube standing they then return the shuttle to the next member of the team who repeats the process. The winning team is the team who finish first all having completed the task with the tube left standing.
SQUARE RUNNING
The class is divided into groups of 4/6. Each group performs the game using one half of a badminton court. One of the group is then chosen to be ‘ON’. This player then runs around the court staying on the badminton lines chasing the other members of the group. They also must run along the lines of the court avoiding capture. Once caught they then are ‘ON’ and the game continues. The player ‘ON’ can only capture another player who is on the same line. No player can go under the net onto the other side to avoid capture. Set a time limit followed by a short rest period.
TARGETS
As the game suggests place targets around a space in the hall. Each player in the team may throw or hit a shuttle from the base one to try and land on the target set gaining points for their team. This is made harder by introducing the net as a barrier.
VOLLEY BADMINTON
Played like Volleyball each team has the option of hitting the shuttle up to 3 times on their side of the net before it must cross onto the other side. A point is scored when your team are serving. Play games up to 5 points, the winning teams going on to play each other.
CATCH LA
The group is split into equal teams. Playing against each other one team sits down on one side of the net, the other team with a supply of shuttles hits the shuttles across the net using an underarm action. The team sitting down try to catch the shuttles on their rackets (no hands) keeping score. Once all the shuttles have been used the total is recorded. This team then hit the shuttles back to the first team who having sat down try to beat the first score.
