Elementary students get the majority of their movement during the school day in physical education (PE) and recess. It is estimated that kids get about 5,000-6,000 steps during school on non-PE days and 7,000-8,000 steps on PE days. All three of these tenants of PE can be better utilized in classroom settings.

The big assumption I made here (not the best assumption for a holistic picture of PE but adequate for what I want to share here) is that skill acquisition is a big part of our job as PE teachers and it is necessary for us to think about it in order to do better. It is a challenge to see this in perspective.

There are many versions of game-based approache s to sport teaching and coaching. However, it is more accurate to think of a GBA as a range of teaching styles or a “toolkit” of styles. We show a GBA can be many teaching styles to players, which invokes the metaphor of the GBA as a pedagogical toolkit.

It has long been argued that teaching and coaching must be based on sound, rigorous research and systematic evidence of what works, how and why it works, where it works and for whom it works (Slavin, 2002). A teacher or coach must ensure the learner is engaged in the learning process (Mosston, 1966). Curran et al.,
