Cross Curricular Support
Primary:
The Tennis Activity Week Pack is a pre-prepared week of cross-curricular lessons, based on a tennis theme, aimed at children aged 7-9yrs, but can easily be extended and adapted for older primary year groups.
The pack contains easy to use lesson plans and worksheets covering; Literacy, Numeracy, Science, History, Geography, PHSE, Music, Art, Design & Technology and PE, with many of the lessons incorporating ICT.
The resource is ideal for delivery during the Wimbledon Championships and National School Sport Week (England), where the school can adopt a tennis theme, however the individual lessons and activities also lend themselves to being delivered in isolation and at other times in the year.
Secondary:
A number of lesson plans and resources are available for Key Stage 3, covering a range of subjects, using tennis as a theme.
Currently, lesson plans and resources are available to support the following subjects – more will be available online over the coming 12 months:
- English/Media: Analysing and comparing how professional tennis players are represented through their offi cial websites.
- French: Based on the French Open, this lesson covers vocabulary of direction, imperative mood and cardinal/ordinal numbers. It involves reading, speaking and listening skills.
- History: The origins and growth of tennis.
