This is the Grade 7 Physical Education self-learning module for Quarter 2, Module 2: Dual Sports. It is for Grade 7 learners studying at home or in school, and it covers two dual sports, badminton and table tennis. After working through it, learners should be able to explain how each sport started and how it is played, and perform its basic grips, strokes, serves, and footwork.
What learners will learn
The module states that after going through it, learners are expected to:
- describe the nature and background of the dual sports (PE7GS-IId5); and
- execute the skills involved in the dual sports (PE7GS-IIdh-28).
The module defines dual sports as sports played by two players opposing each other.
Lessons in this module
- Nature and Background of Badminton: where badminton came from, its governing body, equipment, grips, basic strokes, serving rules, and safety reminders.
- Basic Skills in Badminton: practice drills for serving and strokes with a family member, a practice rally, and a family tournament.
- Nature and Background of Table Tennis: the history and rules of table tennis, its equipment, grips, basic hits, and footwork.
- Basic Skills in Table Tennis: five table tennis drills and a practice game recorded on a game card.
Badminton: key ideas
Background. The module says badminton is believed to have started in India, where it was first called “poona,” during the 17th century. English Army officers stationed in India played it, and the Duke of Beaufort brought it to England in 1870. It was introduced in a place called Badminton, which gave the game its name, and it became an Olympic sport in 1992. Today it follows the rules of the Badminton World Federation (BWF).
How it is played. Players hit a shuttlecock over a net with a racket. The goal is to score by landing the shuttlecock on the opponent’s court. It can be played as singles, doubles, or mixed doubles. The singles court is slightly narrower than the doubles court. The equipment is the racket, the court and net, and the shuttlecock, which is also called a “bird.”
Grips.
- Forehand (handshake) grip: the thumb and pointing finger wrap around the handle to form a letter V, while the other fingers spread to support the bottom of the handle.
- Backhand grip: used to hit the shuttle on the non-dominant side. From the forehand grip, move the fingers slightly so the thumb presses flat on the flat side of the handle, with the other fingers together.
Basic strokes.
| Stroke | How it is done |
|---|---|
| Clear | Stroke above the head; the shuttle goes up toward the long service line, giving the player time to return to base position |
| Lob | Stroke below the head, about waist level; the shuttle goes up |
| Drop | Stroke above the head; the shuttle goes up but drops just near the net, for placing |
| Net drop/shot | Stroke below the head; the shuttle barely touches the net and lands near it, for placing |
| Drive | Stroke at about head level; the shuttle travels straight or flat over the net |
| Smash | Stroke above the head; the shuttle goes down with power and speed, one of the most powerful attacks |
Serving. The serve starts the rally. It must be hit upward with an underarm action, and the shuttle must be below the waist when hit (level with the lowest part of the ribcage). A tennis-style serve is not allowed. The module explains three kinds of serve: high and deep (flick the wrist upward so the shuttle flies high), low and short (power comes mainly from a push of the thumb and a slight wrist flick), and drive or flick (a quick wrist snap in the backhand grip, sending the shuttle in a direct line at the receiver).
Safety. Warm up and stretch, wear proper attire, make sure the play area has enough space, and do cool-down activities.
Table tennis: key ideas
Background. According to the module, table tennis started in England before the 20th century, using improvised equipment, after lawn tennis had become popular. Its former name is ping-pong. It is played on a flat table split into two equal courts by a net, and it is governed by the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF).
Rules covered. The aim is to hit the ball over the net so it bounces on the opponent’s court in a way they cannot return. The first player to reach 11 points with at least a 2-point lead wins the game. Matches include singles, doubles, and mixed doubles, and rules for serving and receiving differ between singles and doubles. Players in wheelchairs can also play, with some rule changes.
Grips. In the forehand grip, the thumb and pointing finger sit on opposite sides of the blade at the top of the handle, with the other fingers around the handle. In the backhand grip, the thumb and pointing finger rest on the blade, and the middle finger and the rest sit on the opposite side.
Basic hits.
- Serve: starts a rally, from the forehand or backhand side.
- Receive: the stroke that responds to a serve.
- Push: a short stroke with the racket moved on a slight horizontal plane.
- Drive: the racket moves forward and upward at an angle, giving the ball fast forward spin.
- Block: the racket is held slightly vertical so the ball travels straight. The module calls it one of the hardest strokes.
Footwork. Basic sideways is the most common: a small jump or sidestep to the left or right from the ready position. In and out is for short serves and short returns: step one foot closer to the table, hit, then return to the ready position. Crossover is a running motion for wide balls on the forehand side.
How to use this module
- Start with the pretest (What I Know), 15 true-or-false items, to check what you already know.
- Go through each lesson in order: What’s In (review), What’s New, What is It (discussion), What’s More (practice), and Additional Activities. The module notes the lesson order can be changed to match your textbook.
- Write all answers on a separate sheet or in your activity notebook. Do not mark the module itself.
- Do the physical drills safely. Stretch and warm up before, cool down after, and wear rubber shoes. If equipment is missing, the module suggests improvised items such as a clothesline or strings tied to poles for a net, or a rectangular dining table, wooden racket, and long stick for table tennis.
- Record your results. Count successful hits and repetitions on the scorecards, activity logs, and game cards, and rate yourself with the rubrics given.
- Finish with the DUAL SPORTS acronym reflection (What I Have Learned), a list of 10 daily activities where you can use these skills (What I Can Do), and the 15-item Assessment.
For parents: many drills need a partner, so the module asks a family member to rally, help with serves, or join a family badminton tournament or table tennis games.
For teachers: the module says the facilitator assesses performance from the learner’s reported activity log and gives feedback on the reflection activity. An answer key for the written tests and activities is at the end; the drills are marked “answers may vary.”

What is It
Nature and Background of Badminton
Badminton
Badminton was believed to be originated from India with its initial name “poona” during the 17th century. It was played by the English Army officers stationed in India and later brought to England in 1870 by the Duke of Beaufort. It was introduced in a place called Badminton hence was called The Game of Badminton and became an Olympic sport in 1992.
Today, badminton is governed by the rules of the Badminton World Federation (BWF). It is played in a net on a regular court where players volley the shuttlecock using a racket over the net. The objective of this game is to score by landing the shuttlecock on the court of the opponent. This can be played in singles, doubles, and mixed doubles. The badminton court used for singles is slightly narrower than the badminton court used for doubles.

Serving
Serving is how you start the rally. Someone must hit the shuttle first! To prevent the server gaining an overwhelming advantage, there are special restrictions placed on serving that do not apply during the rest of the rally.
How to serve
In badminton, the serve must be hit in an upwards direction, with an underarm hitting action. You are not allowed to play a tennis style serve.
The main rule here is that when you hit the shuttle, it must be below your waist. To be exact, the rules define this to be a height level with the lowest part of your ribcage. In other words, you can serve from a bit higher than the top of your shorts, but not much.
Kinds of Serves
High and deep
- Hold the head of the shuttlecock with its head facing downwards so that the shuttlecock will drop straight down.
- Stand sideways (the side of your body facing the net) and relax your racquet arm (arm that is holding the racquet).
- Let go of the shuttlecock and swing your racquet arm upwards. As you do this, twist your waist to the extent that your body faces the net. Flick your wrist towards the direction you want the shuttle to land (Flick your wrist upwards, so that the shuttlecock will fly high).
- Your back leg should lift naturally with your toes touching the ground.
Low and short
- Hold the feather of the shuttlecock with the head of the shuttlecock facing downwards.
- Position the racquet behind the shuttlecock.
- Step slightly forward with your right or left leg if you are right-handed or left-handed.
- As you let go of the shuttlecock, flick your racquet lightly while pushing your thumb forward towards the direction you want the shuttle to land. The power comes mainly from the push of your thumb and the slight flick of your wrist.
Drive or flick
Quick snap of the wrist in the backhand grip with the racket held directly in front of the body. The shuttlecock travels in a direct line at the receiver.
Simple Safety Precautions
- Do some warm-up and stretching exercises.
- Wear proper attire.
- There should be enough space in the play area.
- Do Cool Down activities.
What’s More
In this activity, you are going to execute and apply the skills that you have learned from this lesson. Are you ready? Remember, you must do simple stretching and warm-up activities before starting and cool down exercises should be done after the activity to prevent injury.
Activity 1: Solo-Practice-Shot Drill
Equipment/Materials:
Pair of rubber shoes (It is highly suggested that you wear rubber shoes to provide better protection to your feet and minimize the chance of injury.) Badminton racket Shuttlecock
Directions: To help you feel comfortable with a racket and to improve your hand-eye coordination, let’s begin with the solo rally drill.
Grab your racket and practice volleying a shuttlecock, hitting it about three feet high in the air, for 30 seconds.
First, you do the drill with your palm facing up, then with your palm facing down, and finally alternating palm-up and palm-down with each hit. Count the number of successful hits; then, record it in your activity notebook.
Follow-up Activity:
Directions: In your activity notebook, write your answers to the following questions:
How many hits did you make? Were you able to complete 30 seconds without shuttle touching the floor? If not, why?
How did the drill help improve your hand and eye coordination?
Activity 2: Pair-Rally Drill
The pair-rally drill will continue to help you build coordination and improve reaction time.
Materials/Equipment:
Pair of rubber shoes (it is highly suggested that you wear rubber shoes to provide better protection to your feet and minimize the chance of injury) Badminton racket Shuttlecock
Procedure:
- Before doing this activity, do some stretching exercises to prevent injury.
- Ask one of your family members to play with you.
- Stand about five feet away from each other.
- Practice volleying the shuttle back and forth. Start by practicing the forehand, then, the backhand.
- Keep track of the number of volleys you have successfully completed in a row and continuously try to beat your own score.
- You can ask assistance from your family members or friends about the activity if necessary.
- Do cool down exercises after the activity.
Note:
- You can make your own improvised materials if pieces of equipment are not available in your area.
- Your facilitator will assess your performances based on your report activity log.
Additional Activities

What is It
Activity 1. Let’s Learn It!
Participating in sports gives a lot of benefits to our health. Getting involved in different sports may depend on the interests of an individual. Sometimes we refuse to join sports because of lack of knowledge.
One of the sports that is fun to play is table tennis. This lesson will help and guide you on how to play the table tennis since it will discuss the nature and background of this sport and the proper way of playing it.
Nature and Background of Table Tennis
Table tennis originated from England early before the 20th century. It was played using improvised equipment and was developed after lawn tennis had become a popular sport. Table tennis is considered one of the most widespread racket sports in the world. This sport is played on a flat table divided into two equal courts by a net placed in the middle. Its former name is ping-pong and is played with the same game principles as those of lawn tennis. This sport aims to score a point by hitting the ball using a racket over the net so it bounces down at the opponent’s court in such a way that he or she may not reach it and return it perfectly.
Table tennis is governed by the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF). The rules of this sport are different for singles and doubles especially in terms of serving and receiving. The player who first reaches 11 points and at least 2 points ahead of the score in the game will be declared as the winner. Table tennis can also be played by players in a wheelchair but with some modifications in the rules. The matches for this game include singles, doubles, and mixed doubles.
