Teaching Games for Understanding
The Teaching Games that focus on placing children in a game situation where tactics, decision-making and problem solving is critical.
These games include;
• Net and court
• Invasion
• Striking/fielding
• Target games
A game sense approach in class lesson is essential for children, where tactical and strategic problems are critical where cognitive skills such as tactics, decision-making and problem solving
are used when children recognise the need for it
Teachers prepare and develop innovative and creative unit plans
instead of a number of lessons based on just one sport or activity.
Allowing further teaching on common techniques and strategies
before branching out to the individual activities. Once children are familiar with these techniques further extensions of planning will involve categories such as netball,
touch football and soccer. Therefore the theoretical and practical lessons
integrate with each other.
STAGE 1 – DEVELOP A UNIT ON ONE SPORT
STAGE 2 – DEVELOP A UNIT ACROSS A SUBCATEGORY
STAGE 3 – DEVELOP A UNIT ACROSS SUBCATEGORIES
STAGE 4 – DEVELOP A UNIT FOR A CATEGORY
STAGE 5 – DEVELOP A UNIT ACROSS CATEGORIES

• Game sense engages children in learning, they are encouraged to think and talk about tactical and technical aspects of play
• Rather then telling children what to do teachers can set the learning environment and guide the children through problem solving by asking them questions.
