Before playing the next game, revise the 4 R’s and notice how you can use these when playing:
Unpacking the 4 “R’s” in Net/Wall games
- READ the ball and player movement – where is it going?
- RESPOND with a movement – where and how should I move?
- REACT with a shot – what type of shot will I use? Where am I aiming for?
- RECOVER for the next shot – where should I move to? How do I prepare for the next shot?

Then: Air Pong- You will need a family member to play this game with
Equipment:
- Balloon

How to play:
- with your partner, create a rectangular playing zone marked with cones and between them and out of bounds/dead zone.
- students serve with a drop-hit action (drop the ball before hitting) from behind back line of playing zone.
