This physical education teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to investigate how to develop and practise a range of skills when controlling the movements and position of a ball when using a tennis racquet.

The class can build obstacle courses to follow around when moving with a tennis ball that has been balanced on top of a racquet so that it does not fall the ground.
