What is Game Sense?
Also known as Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU), Game Sense is a way of providing a learning based approach where the skills of the students takes over the importance of the game.
It focuses on developing student’s thinking through problem solving while using physical activity.

How does it work?
This method of learning allows students to figure out problems for themselves.
Teachers stand back and allow students to use trial and error to solve a problem that may emerge within the game.
To encourage this type of thinking, teachers may ask questions to stimulate reflection and allow the formulation of ideas/solutions that can be tested and evaluated by the class.

What is it good for?
Students are able to discover their strengths and weakness on their own, rather than a teacher letting them know.
This allows for growth and development within the student as well as being able to work on their problem solving skills.

Strengths through a teaching approach
Teachers are able to identify which students are struggling and have the ability to alter the game in a way to suit the needs and abilities of all students.
This can assist teachers when it comes time to assess students on their abilities; they will be able to chart their development on a particular activity.
