2. A Game Sense approach when teaching P.E.
involves a series of modified sports/ games
which encourage students to develop both
the necessary skills and techniques required
to play specific sports.
3. When teaching students how to play
basketball, the rules and concepts may seem
too overwhelming and so the game can be
broken down for a better understanding.
A Game Sense approach would mean, students
can be introduced to dribbling a basketball
and master this skill, and then move on to
another skill.
4. Through a Game Sense approach,
Fundamental Movement Skills are being
developed. These skills are the foundation of
all types of physical activity. Examples of
these skills include:
Catching.
Throwing.
Dodging.
5. Students who learn and master a variety of
fundamental movement skills gain great
advantages. Studies have shown that:-
Students become more interested in
developing more advanced skills.
Students are more likely to be active as
adults.
Students will develop a love for physical
activities and sports.
6. This teaching approach aligns well with the
PDHPE syllabus.
