Rob the nest Teacher Information Aim: • •
For students to gather three shuttles (one at a time) and place them in their nest For students to develop strategies and tactics to improve their individual and team performance
Grouping: You may wish to divide the class in half and have two games running at a time. Each game requires four teams of approximately 3-4 members.
Instructions: Using half a badminton court, one team makes a nest in each corner. A racquet placed on the floor could be used as a nest. Place 8 shuttles in the middle of the court. Players line up behind their nest facing the middle. On “Go”, one player at a time runs out and collects a shuttle to bring back to their nest. They must tag the next runner before they can leave. The aim is to bring 3 shuttles back to their nest to win the game. Players may also choose to take shuttles from the middle or from other nests.
