Teddy Tennis

What is Teddy Tennis?

Teddy Tennis inspires children aged 2 to 5+ to get active, grow their confidence and enhance their communication skills to equipment them with the key skills needed to meet the growing challenges of life in the 21st century.

How we do this in Brains Nursery Schools:  We make Teddy Tennis FUN and engaging to play by using a combination of music, pictures, and teddy bear characters throughout all our lessons, whereby captivating their imaginations and appealing to their young developing minds.  This form of teaching is modelled on what is known as Visual Auditory Kinesthetic (VAK) learning, see below for more information.

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.
