Abstract

Badminton is a popular sport played across the lifespan. This article introduces a knowledge packet for the teaching of badminton to upper elementary students. The knowledge packet consists of a content map, task descriptions, and an assessment. The content map illustrates progressions and sequences of tasks. The descriptions of the tasks, equipment, cues, and expected student errors are illustrated in the task description element. The introduced assessment can be used both formatively and summatively. The knowledge packet is underpinned by five pedagogical principles: (a) modifying the equipment, court, and rules, (b) fostering successful rallies, (c) teaching working techniques, (d) selecting developmentally-appropriate content development, and (e) using the progression of game content. Successful skill learning experiences in upper elementary years facilitate students' engagement in lifelong physical activities. To promote this process, providing developmentally-appropriate instruction with enjoyable experiences is essential.
