Tactical Problem for Net/Wall Games

Tactical problem – winning the point

In this activity players will be learning the power shot in badminton.  Two players are needed in this game each on either side of the net.  One player will serve the shuttle cock high in the air over the net and then the opposing player then hits the shuttle cock with a powerful but accurate swing.  The shuttle cock must land in the court or no point is rewarded.

This activity will demonstrate serve location.  On one side of the net will be a player with the shuttle cock in the serving position and location. On the other side will be a holla-hoop and the object is to serve the shuttle cock into that round target to get a point.  You can compete between you and other players to reach a certain amount of points, decided before the game by the players or teacher.

Tactical Problem for a Target Game

Tactical problem – aiming at targets to score

Each player must stand behind a line and throw a bean bag at a target which has holes each representing points.  The furthest away would be worth 3 points, the middle worth 2, and the closest 1.  The point of the game is to reach 21 points before the other player does.

Each player has a bow and a set of arrows.  Each player must take turns shooting their arrows at a target depending on where they hit the target determines the amount of points they will receive.  The target has five rings the middle is worth 5, next 4, then 3, 2, and then the outside ring worth 1 point.  The objective is to reach a certain amount of points before the other player does. The amount of points one must go up to is determined before the game starts by the players.
