Game description
A player practices watching the movement of a shuttlecock then tries to hit some targets.
What you need (setting up)
- 1 x shuttlecock racket.
- A variety of targets - bins, buckets, bags, mats and cones.
What to do
- Highs: A player hits a shuttlecock as high as they can into the air then they move under it to hit it again as it falls.
- Lows: A player stands on one side of a net, or net substitute, and tries to hit shuttlecocks into objects or spaces.
Change it
- Move the targets closer or further away from the player.
- Add points to targets.
Safety
- Ensure the playing surface is flat and free of obstacles since the player will have their eyes upward in the first part of the activity.
