Set Induction
Have students run 2 laps around
tennis court.
Transition
Have all students stand on/around baseline and
go over how to keep score in tennis. Then
explain the Worm Game
Task 1
Worm Game. There will be 5 students per team.
1 team of 5 will stand on one baseline and the
other team of 5 will stand on the opposite
baseline across the net. Both teams will stand in
a single file line. Each team will have 1 racket.
The team with the ball will hit the ball in to start
the game, once the ball is hit, the student that hit
the tennis ball will hand their racket to the
student in line behind him/her. If the ball hits the
net or goes out, the point goes to the other team.
Students will keep score like in a regular tennis
game with Love, 15, 30, 40….etc. Students will
continue to play and hand their racket back to
the next person in line on their team until a team
reaches 40. Then the winning team will move up
in courts and the team that lost will move down
in courts so that there is a rotation of teams
playing eachother. The winning team on the
winning court will stay where they are!
Love=0
