Teddy Tennis inspires children aged 2 to 6+ years to get active and to learn to play Teddy Tennis. It works by combining music, pictures and teddy bear characters into a totally interactive learning adventure that young children love. In the Tiny Teddies class children develop their fine motor skills eg. throwing, catching and racket skills. They learn the fundamentals of tennis sending and receiving. Boris Bear Team started working on movement while focusing on their technique when hitting the ball and keep practicing ABC skills. Head Ted Team works on movement around the court, learning serving and understanding the aim of tennis and how to win a point so they can start playing matches.
What makes Teddy Tennis so appealing for children is our Visual Auditory Kinesthetic (VAK) learning style,
Visual Learning
It involves the use of seen or observed things, including pictures, demonstrations and videos. Every Teddy Tennis lesson uses inspiration pictures of teddy bear characters playing Teddy Tennis…. and of course every Teddy Tennis coach demonstrates how things should be done correctly.
Auditory Learning
It involves the transfer of information through listening: to the spoken word, and of music and sounds. Every Teddy Tennis lesson involves music that was specifically written by Teddy Tennis and provides the correct rhythm and timing for doing each game or exercise; the words of the music tell the children what to do.
Kinesthetic Learning
It involves physical participation – doing, practical hands on experiences, and taking part in coordinated movement, racket and hand to eye skills. Every Teddy Tennis lesson is fully interactive and involves having a lot of FUN.
