NEW!
2023 CIRA Fall Conference
Saturday, October 14, 2023
9:00 am - 3:00 pm
Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU)... plus other games promoting physical activity
Fun, physically active games help players with their fitness and skill development.
A Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) approach helps players connect what they learn from one game to their successful participation in other games
TGfU is about teaching the strategies, tactics, and skills that are fundamental to a variety of games and focusing on the immediate needs of players.
This model has several significant strategies and important benefits, and its use is the basis of this conference.
Let’s look at how these strategies and benefits can be applied.
Essentially the TGfU model has six principles (adapted from Werner, Thorpe & Bunker, 1996, p. 29):
KEEP IT SIMPLE
but change accordingly
APPRECIATE
the playing time
UNDERSTAND
game tactics
MAKE
real-time decisions
RELATE
drills to immediate needs
TRANSFER
what is learned in one game to another
This event is currently in the early planning stages.
Event details including workshop topics and descriptions will be added below as information becomes available.
