LI: to learn how to play badminton
Today I went to Badminton with Group A.  Then first thing we did was play a warm up game with Kevin (who is our Kiwisport Teacher). Our warm up game was Octopus. The rules of Octopus is:
Get a group of people that are more than two.
Pick a person that is the tagger. (If you have a lot of people maybe you should have two or three taggers)
Start game
The taggers have to pick a category for example: Whoever has blue on their clothing or the Taggers shout out "OCTOPUS!". That means everyone has to try to get past them.
After that we got taught a skill from Kevin called "The Forehand Lift". It is a skill to beat your opponent. While the opponent serves you hit the shuttle at the far back of their side so they can't reach. It is kinda like the Fore hand serve instead of you dropping it, it comes to you.
Then we went with pairs/partners/buddies to practice the Forehand Lift. The partner would be underarm throwing the shuttle at you and you do the Forehand Lift to try to not let them catch.
After that we did a one on one rally with each other. I got really excited to do this by myself. Luckily I bated a couple of people , but still unfortunately lost a few games.
