How do you play Tennis?
First,one player serves the ball to to their opponent. The ball must go over the net and land in the opposite box from where the player is serving. Next, the person who is receiving serve must try to hit the ball before hit bounces twice. The ball must go back over the net. If you does not hit over the net or it goes out of bounds, then the player who is serving wins the point. Otherwise, play continues.Then players continue trying to hit the ball back and forth until one of the players either can return the ball, hits it out of bounds (outside the white lines) or hits it into the net. When that happens the other person wins the point. After that the first person to get to either 6 or 7 games and win by a margin of two games wins the set. Finally, the person who wins either 2 out of 3 or 3 out 5 sets wins the match.

Basketball
- Let's talk about basketball. Can you tell me the rules of basketball?
- There are 3 -5 players on each team. The ball is passed between players. You can not kick the ball. Use your hands to shoot the ball in the basket (instead of net). You get two points when this happens. If you are standing outside the 3 point line, you get 3 points if you make a basket.

When you get close enough to the goal, you try to either kick or head the ball into the goal. There are two 45 minutes halves. At the end of regulation stoppage time is added (up to 5 minutes) for injuries. The team that scores the most goals wins the game.
