 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):
