Badminton is such a fun game. It is a racquet sport played to hit a shuttlecok across a net.
Ive heard of badminton but never played it. Is it like tennis?
It is a little like tennis but the shuttlecok is not supposed to ever hit the ground. It can be played with large teams or in singles.
Oh I see. How long has badminton been around for?
It was developed in British India in the 1800s. It is a hybrid of battledore and shuttlecok.
Interesting. Are there big badminton competitions?
Sure, it is often played as a casual outdoor activity but there are formal games played on indoor courts. There are leagues as well.
Maybe I should look into playing badminton. It sounds interesting.
