🎉 Let’s Play Badminton!

Introduction

Badminton is a happy game that you can play inside a gym or outside on a sunny field. You use a light racket, a little shuttle (also called a “birdie”), and try to hit the shuttle over a net. It’s fast, fun, and good for your body!

1. What Is Badminton?

• Badminton is a sport where two players (or two teams of two) hit a shuttle back and forth.
• The shuttle flies like a tiny feathered bird.
• The goal is to make the shuttle land on the other side of the net.

2. How to Play

1. Hold The Racket – grip it like you hold a pencil.
2. Serve – stand behind the line, toss the shuttle up, and hit it so it goes over the net.
3. Return – watch the shuttle, move your feet, and hit it back.
4. Score – you get a point when the other side can’t hit the shuttle back.

3. Why It’s Fun

• It’s like a game of “catch” but the shuttle flies higher and faster.
• You can jump, run, and stretch—great for strong muscles.
• You can play with friends, family, or even a teacher.

4. Badminton Gear

• Racket – light and easy to swing.
• Shuttle – made of feathers or plastic; it makes a soft “whoosh” sound.
• Net – hangs in the middle; you try to get the shuttle over it.

Did You Know?

🪶 The shuttle used in real badminton can travel faster than a car on a city street—up to 200 km/h (about 124 mph)! That’s why it looks like a speedy little bird.

Conclusion

Badminton lets you bounce, swing, and laugh while getting stronger. Grab a racket, find a friend, and try hitting the shuttle over the net. Who knows? You might become the next badminton champion in your backyard! 🌟
