Game Sense
Learning through play
What do we mean by ‘Game Sense’?
Too many times have we been amazed by professional athletes and their
decision making abilities during high intensity games.
They develop this ability over many years of consistent intellectually
stimulating physical education.
In modern teaching, we call this ‘Game Sense’. It is an approach to teaching
which emphasizes on creativity and questioning, rather than instruction (Towns,
2002).
What do we mean by ‘Game Sense’?
Step by step modelled and guided
procedures ensure that students learn and
develop at their own pace.
Having a teacher who understands and
knows the classroom well will ensure each
and every student is engaged and included
during PE sessions (Townsend, 2007).
How does it help my child?
 Inclusiveness:
 Students develop social skills such as teamwork and healthy
competitiveness. They learn to be more inclusive. Students who
don’t usually participate in PE feel more comfortable being
involved (Board of Studies, 2007).
How does it help my child?
 Confidence builder:
 When students learn new motor skills by taking lessons one step
at a time while playing a game, they become more confident in
their own physical ability as they get better (Board of Studies,
2007).
How does it help my child?
 Decision making:
 Students are left to make decisions on their own. Games are
manipulated for each group separately to challenge each
student to their ability. Students enjoy playing games that are
fair to their strength while challenging enough to have them
make decisions as well as push themselves physically (Light,
2006).
Example of a Game Sense
Throwing and
catching a ball
(simple)
Extending the
distance
(challenge)
Using specific
hands to throw
and catch the
ball with
(challenge)
Changing
teams around
(fairness)
Scoring points
for passing the
ball without it
bouncing
(competition)
