STIGA Performance 2-Player Table Tennis Set

Learning objective: Practice table-tennis serves, rally control and placement.

How to teach this unit

Suggested time: 15-30 minutes per session, including warm-up and rest. Prepare a clear movement area, the product, and paper to record observations or attempts.

Learning outcomes: The student will learn the target skill, practice it with feedback, use it in a final activity, and show or explain one thing learned. Adjust pacing without changing the goal.

Three-session lesson plan

Session 1 - Explore and model

1. Introduce the learning objective. Demonstrate safe use and explain what the student will practice.
2. Practice grip and ball bounce control.
3. Ask what the learner noticed and save a quick baseline observation or first work sample.

Session 2 - Guided practice

1. Review one important skill or observation from Session 1.
2. Aim serves at two zones and count rallies.
3. Offer a specific correction or strategy, repeat once, and compare what changed.

Session 3 - Apply and explain

1. Invite the learner to predict an outcome or set a reasonable goal.
2. Play a simplified game with focus on placement.
3. Discuss what improved, what was difficult, and what the learner would try next. Save evidence of the final task.

Show what was learned

Suggested evidence of learning: Track serves in-bounds and longest rally.

• □ Followed instructions and safe handling guidance
• □ Practiced the target skill with suitable help
• □ Applied one suggestion or made an adjustment
• □ Completed a work sample or explained learning

Parent assessment: Compare the learner's first and last attempts or work samples. Look for effort, understanding, better technique, more consistent performance, or a completed creative result. Record the kind of support needed rather than giving a grade based only on speed or score.

Adaptations: Parents may change timing, repetition, reading support, or adult assistance to fit the student. Older learners can add measurements, explanations, or a written reflection.

Safety: Table not included; maintain clear play space.
