Equipment: 3 pool noodles, 5 hula-hoops, 6 fitness signs, 6 cones, badminton nets, racquets,
and birdies
Introductory activity: (5 minutes): Noodle Tag- Set hula-hoops on the ground throughout the
gym. Discuss safety concerns with students. (No hitting with the noodle, no pushing, dont
jump into the hoop) Designate 3 students to be taggers and give them a noodle. When a tagger
tags someone they give them the noodle and they are it. Hula-hoops are safety zones and you
can only stand in it for 10 seconds. You cant stand in the same hoop twice in a row. Taggers
cant guard a hoop and wait for someone to step out.
Fitness: (10 minutes): Squad leader fitness- Set up 6 cones spread out in the gym with a fitness
sign on them. Have students get in groups of 4. 1 group at each cone. Each group will have 1
leader and they will pick an exercise from the sign. They will lead the rest of the group in the
exercise for about a minute until the whistle blows. Someone else in the group becomes the
leader and picks a different exercise from a different section. The same exercise cant be chosen
twice. Repeat until time is up.
Lesson focus: (20 minutes): Badminton doubles matches. Have students stand by a partner. 1
partner takes a knee. The partner that is standing will go get a racquet and birdie. Choose 2
teams to be on each court. Doubles matches will be 5 minutes. Winners will rotate up and losers
rotate down.

Game: (15 minutes): King of the court: 4 people will remain on each court. 1 person is the
king and is on one side of the net. 1 challenger is on the other side of the net and the other 2
people are lined up on the sideline. The king serves to the challenger. They rally until someone
wins. If the king wins they stay and a new challenger steps on to play them. If the king loses the
challenger takes their place and is now the king. Each student keeps track of how many times
they win as the king.
Closure/summary: (1 minute) Ask students to tell you some health benefits of playing
badminton.
