PROCEDURE
Introduction (5 min.):
Attention Grabber: Have the students guess what activity we will be doing.
Assessment of Prior Knowledge: Ask students what they remember about badminton and if they know some different
hits you can do in badminton.
Expectations for Learning and Behaviour: Students will actively participate throughout the entire activity and
properly attempt the skills that will help them for the game of badminton. When the teacher is giving instructions
students will have their hands on their heads or the equipment on the floor, they are not distracted. I will wait until
they are listening. Students will actively provide information from prior class and ask questions if needed.
Advance Organizer/Agenda: Address to class prior to or immediately following warm up:
LA 1: King/Queen court test.
LA 2: Doubles rules.
LA 3: Doubles King/Queen court.
Transition to Body: Now that we know we are doing badminton and some of the basic skills, we are going to do an
activity that will increase in difficulty as we progress, depending on how each student is progressing! Remind students
what king/queen court works and get them to help me with the explanation.
Body (40min.):
Learning Activity #1: King/Queen court test – This will be a test to see if the grade sevens are understanding the
movement of the king/queen court. I will still explain it, but the students will help me explain the movement of
winners and the losers. They will be in the half court singles. The person serving in the shuttle will always be the
person coming to the court to start a new game, it will always be a person on the same side of the court, which I will
call the serving side and the other side will be the receiving side. If the serving side loses, they go to their opponents’
side and stay at the same court. If the serving side wins, they go to the court to the right of them, the one that will get
them closer to the king/queen court. If the receiving side loses, they will stay exactly where they are, they do not move
courts. If the receiving side wins, they go to their partners side of the next and then move one to the right. The
exception for win or loses is the king queen court, if they win, they stay at that court but if they lose, they have to go to
the back of the line at the entrance court. The extra students will line up against the wall and wait to come into the
entrance court, which is the furthest away from the king/queen court. They will enter this court as soon as the rally is
over. The rallies will only be one point. I will also touch base with the students about fair play and etiquette in
badminton and how they should approach it. During this time if the students are getting the movement of the
1
King/Queen court, we will move onto doubles King/Queen court. If they do not understand it, we will move onto
regular rules and then go back to the singles King/Queen court.

*Get students to repeat directions back to me.

Assessments/Differentiation: I will assess through observation if students are following instructions accordingly and
appropriately. If a student is having troubles with the movement, I will give a few pointers to help them, so the movement flows
nicer. Make sure they are actually playing the game and not just talking or stalling.
Motivation: Being able to work with a partner of their choosing, but it also is not for points or competition. They are able to have
fun but not feel the pressure of being amazing at something. Provide feedback to students.

Learning Activity #2: Doubles Rules – Basically we are going to review the rules they learned in grade six. I will
show this by getting three badminton players (two to be partners & one to be mine) to volunteer for demonstrating.
Doubles refers to 2v2, you will only need one shuttle at each court for this. Q: What is the easiest way to start a game
when you arrive at the court? A: Toss the shuttle to see who is serving first, this is determined by which way the
shuttle is pointing when it lands. Show this, which ever partner picks it up to serve ask: how do we know who’s going
to serve the shuttle first? What is another name for the right-hand service court? A: Even (right) and Odds (left), it has
to do with the score. Before serving the server needs to say aloud the score of the match, but they say what the serving
team has first and then the receiving score. For example, “0 serving 0, service”. Rally for a bit but make sure the
serving team gets the point. Then explain why the server that just served switches sides to serve again. The server
keeps serving until they lose a point to the opposition. In order for this to happen they need to switch sides, so they are
on the odd side because it is 1 serving 0. If there is a missed served, can they reserve again? No, because they just lost
a point with a missed serve, you only get one attempt to serve it. If the shuttle goes out, ask the students sitting around
the court if it was in or out. When they reply, stop them and explain why they are not allowed to call in or out from the
sideline. Basically, because it is a rule in badminton, so who do you ask if you do not know if it is in or out and you
are the closest to the shuttle? A: your partner. Q: What if they don’t know? A: They ask the other team if it was in or
out and we have to trust that they are going to be honest and have good sportsmanship, because you will have to be
honest for them as well when they ask because it is their expectation of you. Q: If both teams don’t know, are they
then allowed to ask the people watching? A: No, it would be a re-serve. Q: Is the shuttle allowed to hit the net? Yes.
What about on a serve? Yes. Is your racquet allowed to touch the net, pole, or string? A: No, if it does you lose a point
and the other team gets to serve. Q: What if you reach over the net onto the other team’s side, without touching the
net, and hit it down? A: You can’t do that because it is against the rules and the other team would get the point. Q:
What if when you are rallying you switch up sides and you do not end up where you started? Do you just stay there?
A: No, you serve from where you were when the last serve was made. Q: Do you have to stay on your side once the
serve is in play? No, you can move wherever you want but when the point is lost you have to go back to where you
were when it was last served. Also, if you are serving diagonal from you the person on that side of the court has to hit
it, if the other teammate hits it, it’s your point. Q: When you win a point are celebrating and doing cartwheels off the
wall? No, you need to have the serve ready within 5-10 seconds of winning the point. Q: When the shuttle hits the
ceiling is it still in play? No. Can you play it if the shuttle bonces on the floor and then hit it over? No. Can you hit it
twice between you and your partner and then hit it over? No, you can only hit it once on your side of the net. Back and
forth, every shot has to go over the net. Q: If the shuttle lands in and bounces out, is it out or in? A: It’s in, where it
hits the floor first determines whether it is in or out. Q: If the shuttle lands on the line is it in or out? In. If it lands on
the black line, it is actually out on the sideline and in on the end line, in the small gym. Q: Where do you serve from?
A: Right behind the serves line on your side of the court, in the court, you need to be right by it. When a serve is
happening, everyone has to be in their court service areas, but you only need one foot in it. Q: Where do you serve to?
Diagonally across from you and the player on that side needs to play it back. Q: What do we always do at the end of a
match, no matter what the score is? A: congratulate the other team by shaking or first bumping their hands. We need
to show sportsmanship and etiquette.

* get students to repeat instructions

Assessments/Differentiation: Assessment by will mainly be by checking in on the students, getting them to repeat and show what I
just explain. In order to move onto another rule, I will need to quickly assess by checking for understanding of the rules.

Motivation: Being able to have a greater understanding for the game of badminton.

Learning Activity #3: Doubles King/Queen court – The rules for doubles are the same as singles but now you have a
partner. All the movements will be with the partner you have. The group serving in the shuttle will always be the
group coming into the court to start a new game, the serving side of the court will always be the same side. This side
will be called the serving side and the other side will be the receiving side. If the serving side loses, they go to their
opponents’ side and stay at the same court. If the serving side wins, they go to the court to the right of them, the one
that will get them closer to the king/queen court. If the receiving side loses, they will stay exactly where they are, they
do not move courts. If the receiving side wins, they go to the serving side and then move one closer to the king/queen
2
court. The exception for win or loses is the king/queen court, if they win, they stay at that court on the receiving side
but if they lose, they have to go to the back of the line at the entrance court. The extra students will line up against the
wall and wait to come into the entrance court, which is the furthest away from the king/queen court. They will enter
this court as soon as the rally is over. The rallies will go until the first team gets three points. Also mention not running
through the courts. I will also touch base with the students about fair play and etiquette in badminton and how they
should approach it. If there is an odd amount of people, the teams coming off the odd player can have one of the
partners and so on.

* ask students questions about the activity, to check for understanding.

Assessments/Differentiation: I will assess by observation mainly. If students are not doing the right movement for this, I will give
some feedback and if needed, instruct the whole class about it. I will also be observing the students and their attitudes during the
competition. They will be keeping in mind fair play and etiquette as well.

Motivation: Allow students to be competitive with each other, they also have a partner to play with and it is more of a consistent
movement.

Closure (5min.):
Consolidation/Assessment of Learning: Consider observations and making note of it in my daily journaling if
anything specifically stood out.
Feedback From Students: What side of the court are you serving on if you have 7 points? What is one way we can
show etiquette in badminton?
Feedback To Students: After looking back on observation, explain to students on how they did throughout the
activity. What went well and what we still need work on.
Transition To Next Lesson: Tomorrow we are going to continue with badminton and get into more competitions!
