Peppa Pig

Miss Rabbit gives Peppa and her friends a tennis lesson, but the tennis balls end up everywhere, creating a mess. The children then switch to badminton instead, finding it considerably easier and far more manageable for them during the activity.

The short animated episode titled “Racquet Games” forms part of the wider Peppa Pig series. Classified as a programme and presented as an episode, it follows the familiar format of the show, bringing together Peppa and her friends for a new activity. As with other entries, the focus is on simple, everyday play, making it accessible to its young audience. In this instalment, Miss Rabbit steps in as the instructor and introduces the group to the basics of tennis. She demonstrates how to hold a racket and swing at the ball, but the tennis balls start flying all around the garden. The scattered balls make it difficult for the children to keep up, turning what should have been a straightforward game into a rather messy affair. Because the tennis equipment proves too unwieldy, the youngsters decide to switch to badminton instead. The change brings a noticeable ease to the activity; the lighter shuttlecocks and smaller court allow the children to enjoy the game without the previous confusion. By the end of the episode, the friends are happily playing badminton, finding it far simpler than the earlier tennis attempt. The segment concludes with the children continuing their badminton game, enjoying the simplicity of the sport after the chaotic tennis session.
