Introduction
The lesson plans are divided into four sections or levels. Each section builds on the skills developed in the previous lessons or sections and introduces higher level /
more complex elements of badminton.
Each section contains a number of lessons depending on the complexity and importance of the topic:
10 Starter Lessons (Lessons 1 to 10) Module 5 in the Teachers Manual
Swing and Throw (Lesson 11 and 12) Module 6 in the Teachers Manual
Throw and Hit (Lessons 13 to 18) Module 7 in the Teachers Manual
Learn to Win (Lessons 19 to 22) Module 8 in the Teachers Manual
The content for each section / level is presented as a separate module in the accompanying Teachers Manual resource. Please refer to the manual for a detailed
explanation of the content.
Note: The 10 Starter Lessons are the main starting point for teachers and children who are inexperienced with badminton.
Deciding Where to Start
The lesson you start teaching badminton with in the programme and the pace of progression from lesson to lesson depends on several factors:
badminton experience and exposure of pupils;
age and physical development;
aptitude and previous sporting experience.
It is not essential to follow each lesson progressively as described here, from 1 to 10 and then 11 and 12 and so on.
The programme has been designed to allow teachers to select lessons and exercises relevant to the level of their pupils.
Teachers are encouraged to adapt each exercise within the lesson plans to increase or decrease the difficulty to suit individuals and groups. This is to ensure their
experience of badminton is a positive one.

Lesson Structure
The lessons for badminton in this resource contain:
physical exercises;
technical badminton exercises;
fun and competition activities.
Every lesson is designed for 60 minutes; however the timing of the exercises can be adjusted to suit a shorter or longer lesson period.
Parts of the lesson are in different colours to help teachers following the plan.
The three colours represent physical, technical/tactical and competitive/fun content. Fun competitive situations
Lessons start with a warming up activity and specific physical development exercises. This is followed by technical
elements and finally competitive elements, which makes up the largest part of the lesson.
Technical elements
This colour code allows the teachers to see the elements easily (physical/technical/competitive). These parts of the lesson
are interchangeable. This allows the teacher to plan lessons according to the ability and motivation of the class.
Each activity included in these plans has video clips to show the activities and to assist the teachers with their Physical exercises

General Lesson Format
The lessons for badminton in this resource contain:
Introduction The teacher highlights what the pupils will learn.

lesson goals/focus
(5 minutes)
Physical development Fun type activities to improve motor skills and general warm-up movements specific to the lesson content.
There are some exercises in the physical part of the lessons which need a pre-warming-up activity, because they require the pupils to
work at maximum speed or agility.
Therefore pupils will need 3-4 minutes general warming-up with running and flexibility exercises. See the lesson plans.
Technical/Tactical The main part of the lesson is dedicated to technical exercises with racket and shuttle or fun/competitive games designed to reinforce
the teaching points.
All activities can be increased or decreased in level of difficulty, so the content is appropriate to the level of the pupils.
This will assist in maintaining motivation of all levels of learner.
Review lesson focus The teacher summarises the main teaching points and cool down.
(5 minutes)
Revision lessons using fun exercises and competition situations are interspersed in the programme to reinforce technical badminton learning.

Flexibility of the Programme
This is a flexible resource to meet the needs of:
teachers and learners from different cultural backgrounds;
different teaching/learning situations location/equipment/size of groups/experience with badminton;
mixed ability groups.
Progress through the programme will depend on the skill level and motivation of the class. Teachers should evaluate progress of children after each lesson.
This resource is designed to be flexible depending on the teachers experience and the ability (physical badminton) of the pupils.
There are many options for teachers to implement the course. This includes:
varying the activities using the suggestions to make activities more or less difficult;
varying the length of time for physical, technical, competition elements in the one lesson/or for one activity within the lesson;
designing your own lesson plans relevant to your own teaching situation using the ideas and content of the lesson plans;
creating new lessons with emphasis on more physical, technical or competitive content while maintaining core learning and the fun elements;
repeating lessons and exercises where appropriate to meet the needs and progress of individual children or the group.

Introduction
Before starting to read through the lesson plans and to plan lessons, please read the below information:
1. Read Module 5 (page 39 teachers manual) before reviewing Lesson Plan 1 to 10.
2. Each activity included in these plans has video clips to show the activities and to assist the teachers with their preparation.
3. Minimal equipment and facilities are required to organize and deliver these 10 introductory badminton lessons.
4. Lessons are designed to give children of all abilities a positive first impression of badminton and the opportunity to have a successful experience.
5. Each lesson combines physical activities with learning fundamental badminton techniques see Module 4 (page 33 teachers manual) Physical Development Exercises.
The 10 Starter Lessons:
cover basic badminton skills;
ensure beginners of all abilities have a positive first experience of badminton.
Teachers will have the flexibility to:
move from one lesson to the next;
repeat lessons where necessary;
move onto the subsequent sections / levels whenever they feel this is appropriate for the level of the individuals / group;
repeat activities in the 10 Starter Lessons so they give children more practice time in the basic skills;
take activities from different lessons to create their own lessons.
The teacher should evaluate the progress of children after each lesson before planning the next badminton lesson.

Overview
1.Introduction Swing and Throw
Refer to Module 6 (page 59 teachers manual) before planning these lessons.
Each activity included in these plans has a video clip to show the activities and to assist the teachers with their preparation.
Section 2 This is designed to assist children with the transition from underarm hitting to overhead hitting. This section includes related physical
Swing & Throw elements such as throwing and coordination.
(2 lessons)
Here the character of badminton as a fast game is introduced. Therefore the speed of the rallies can be increased relative to the level of the
pupils.
Usually this increase in tempo will result in increased enjoyment. Children will have a lot of fun because of the speed of the rallies.
Note that speed will need to be controlled to ensure continued development of good technique and so children experience success.
By the end of Section 2, Swing & Throw, pupils should be able to:
enjoy faster rallies from mid court to mid court;
demonstrate correct throwing technique, in preparation for overhead hitting.
