Mrs. Perez's PDHPE classroom values fun, playing, thinking, communicating, inclusion, challenge, and being player-centered. Game sense is a philosophy for teaching PE that engages students in meaningful experiences to develop their tactical awareness and decision-making skills within modified games. Game sense is applied by modifying playing areas, equipment, numbers of players, and game rules while maintaining the tactical aspects of the full game to focus on specific skills.

2. What Is Game Sense?
Game sense is a philosophy for teaching and learning Physical Education. It is
supported by constructivist learning principles which identifies that learners
absorb knowledge through the process of engaging in meaningful experiences
(O’Leary, 2016).
Research recognizes that Game Sense has value in its attempt to “…develop
students’ tactical awareness and decision making [skills] within modified
games,” (O’Leary, 2016).
Game Sense is applied when we modify playing areas, equipment, the numbers
of players and the rules of games, whilst maintain specific tactical intricacies of
the adult game so that students have the opportunity to focus of particular
skills (O’Leary, 2016).
