Ball blasts
Cut an old tennis ball in half, fill with a spoonful of flour and reseal ball with glue. During a group lesson on the serve, tease the students that you can blow up a ball with your serve. After taking a few warm-up serves, take the ball from your pocket and tell the kids to cheer – the louder they are, the more it helps. Then serve.
The pro who can blow up a tennis ball will be the most popular topic for weeks.
