Physical Activity Idea - Can't Touch This

In this small-sided invasion game, participants have opportunities to practice offence and defence that can be applied to numerous sports.

The Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) approach was developed by researchers at Loughborough University in the United Kingdom to tap into children's inherent desire to play. Using ideas embedded within movement education, Bunker and Thorpe (1982) developed the idea of TGfU around teaching kids games by playing games. Rather than teach specific sport units (e.g., volleyball unit, soccer unit), participants gain the skills and knowledge of a variety of games associated with four game categories: (a) target (e.g., curling, bowling), (b) striking/ fielding (e.g., cricket, baseball), (c) net/wall (e.g., volleyball, tennis), and (d) invasion (e.g., handball, basketball). -- adapted from PlaySport.net
