One of the moms in our LEARN homeschooling group loves tennis, so it makes sense that that is what she is sharing with our children. I've never remembered the rules or details to the game (I do believe I learned them for a week or two in high school). It is so much fun to go and actively participate in the learning with my kids. Today's lesson included the names of the lines. The back line is the base line, the outside lines are the doubles lines, the inside lines are the singles lines, and the center line is the service line. I'm learning all sorts of things!
We yelled the names of the lines while running on them, jumping like frogs on them, and even tiptoeing and sashaying. We practiced a fun gamed called applause where your drop the ball and try to catch it, or drop the ball, clap, then catch it. It was a great skill building game for all ages! We also played a few games with our rackets and beanbags, including: passing the beanbag and tossing it and catching it on our rackets.
One of the last games we played involved tossing the ball over the net to each other. It was so much fun! I'm so glad I get to be part of a group that values sharing what we love with each other and our children.
