PlymouthCreekPE Jan 10 @ 8:07 PM EST

A1 I try doing many parts of TGFU and love it for elementary. Never been trained in it so some just comes with practice. #espechat

smsandino Jan 10 @ 8:07 PM EST

Oh yea no snow BUT we do have rain down here which doesn't happen often! #espechat

smartintahoe Jan 10 @ 8:07 PM EST

A1: I use inquiry w/ all of my S's in some form & #tgfu starting fully with 2nd in target games, bring in other categories to 3-5 #espechat

PhysEdApps - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:07 PM EST

A1) No, I have not learned enough about #TGFU to feel confident to try. #espechat

In reply to @smartintahoe

For those of you just learning about TGfU, I highly suggest you read this quick post from @opheacanada: https://t.co/oRM2aueOtr #espechat

In reply to @opheacanada

MrPicha_PE Jan 10 @ 8:08 PM EST

A1 yes and no. Certain aspects of it if I understand the model correctly. Similar to tactical games approach #espechat

rizzapiccio Jan 10 @ 8:08 PM EST

A1 still new to the idea but keen to try it, read about it in the #physed blogs but havent tried yet #espechat

MsTuckerRocksPE Jan 10 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1: Don't know much about TGFU, so I'm glad for this topic #espechat

smartintahoe Jan 10 @ 8:09 PM EST

Think the questioning is occurring without trying to use the teaching style by many #espechat

CoachFoe Jan 10 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1 I started using #TGfU last yr in a concentrated manner. I m with u Sarah used it but didn't realize it had a name #espechat

smsandino Jan 10 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1 I wouldn't say I use the full blown model because I'm still working on it! But I do love how my ss take on the layering piece #espechat

GHSaysRockChalk Jan 10 @ 8:10 PM EST

TGfU is Teaching Games for Understanding, essentially teaching games through games. You teach transferable skills/concepts. #espechat

smartintahoe Jan 10 @ 8:10 PM EST

A1cont: my S's have become more engaged in lessons when their ideas and thoughts move to The forefront #espechat

#espechat what was eye opener 4 me was I started using it while coaching. Traditional coaching needed boost something new worked wonders

GHSaysRockChalk Jan 10 @ 8:11 PM EST

You're right on time! #espechat

In reply to @cpola17

ChrisGrove_PE Jan 10 @ 8:11 PM EST

A1 I definitely use aspects of TFGU, I probably need to study it more, to implement it better. #espechat

PlymouthCreekPE Jan 10 @ 8:11 PM EST

A1 I bet most people are doing parts of #tgfu without even knowing they are doing so #espechat

CapnPetesPE Jan 10 @ 8:11 PM EST

#espechat A1: I too am just learning about TGFU and love the concept.

Do you have a lesson plan, pictures or something to show what it looks like? #espechat

Don't forget, TGfU is a teaching model like Sport Ed. You don't have to use it all the time. :) #espechat

Absolutely! Mine are 40, but when you factor in changing & transitions they are much shorter. #espechat

Q2:How do you, or would you like to, use this teaching style? #espechat

PhysEdApps - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2) I want to learn about the process & watch it in action. The goal is to be more effective at 7/8th grade strategy #espechat

A2: I would probably start really implementing in target games #espechat Seems to be easy to work my way from tactics to skills #espechat

GHSaysRockChalk Jan 10 @ 8:17 PM EST

There are some #PhysEdSummit sessions about TGfU. #espechat

In reply to @MsTuckerRocksPE

MrPicha_PE Jan 10 @ 8:17 PM EST

A2 I use it to help Ss see big picture. Use similar strategies to solve the same tactical problem in different sports #espechat

PlymouthCreekPE Jan 10 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2 Use it to allow for all s's to be invovled and I see that all students are more engaged in a game setting than skill work #espechat

GHSaysRockChalk Jan 10 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2: I purposefully plan TGfU lessons during my invasion games units. #espechat

smartintahoe Jan 10 @ 8:18 PM EST

Such a great point! It's a tool in our teaching tool box!! #espechat

GHSaysRockChalk Jan 10 @ 8:12 PM EST

Don't forget, TGfU is a teaching model like Sport Ed. You don't have to use it all the time. :) #espechat

cpola17 Jan 10 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2 each term I focus on a new tgfu and break down the components. Allow Ss to explore and unpack their understanding #espechat

responsivePE Jan 10 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2 Biggest part of #TGfU is encouraging my Ss to make decisions in how they apply game concepts. #theyownit #espechat

rizzapiccio Jan 10 @ 8:19 PM EST

A2 i want to learn its process and how it really works to help reinforce concepts in my classes #espechat

GHSaysRockChalk Jan 10 @ 8:19 PM EST

Do you mean that you focus on a different TGfU games category each term? #espechat

In reply to @cpola17

smartintahoe Jan 10 @ 8:19 PM EST

A2: I use it to move out of activity focused units and focus on strategic skill building and helping S's crossover their knowledge #espechat

CapnPetesPE Jan 10 @ 8:20 PM EST

#espechat Remember, I am not an expert but info is what experts say (using student friendly statements). Why TGFU?

PlymouthCreekPE Jan 10 @ 8:20 PM EST

seen great results as well in net games from volleyball earlier this year to using paddles now. Similar games played for both #espechat

smsandino Jan 10 @ 8:20 PM EST

A2 questioning because I hear crickets sometimes w my ss, also I'm not sure that they've been challenged this way in #physed 2/2 #espechat

smartintahoe Jan 10 @ 8:21 PM EST

@PE_Dave1017 has created a ton of videos on you tube showing his S's using the TGFU style in a lesson. #espechat

A4. Create some games of your own based on student needs. #espechat

A5 The big idea that I see now teaching ms is strategies and helping the cognitive side with inquiry (critical thinking) #espechat

PEbyMrE Jan 10 @ 8:47 PM EST

A5: It creates a growth mindset; instead of the traditional style, Ss need to be more cognitive in PE than just a routine #espechat

responsivePE Jan 10 @ 8:47 PM EST

A5 Game concepts learned through #tgfu can be more easily transferred to traditional sport settings in ms and hs. #espechat

A5: Discussing tactics and strategy in a game is AWESOME for transitioning to MS. My 4th and 5th graders love to discuss!!! #espechat

CatchingHeather Jan 10 @ 8:48 PM EST

A5. TGfU is a great model for life long learning. Ss gain knowledge of skills & strategies which develop as their ability does. #espechat

GHSaysRockChalk Jan 10 @ 8:48 PM EST

A5: MS #PhysEd (IMHO), should focus a lot of learning time on strategies & tactics. #espechat

PErachelbell Jan 10 @ 8:48 PM EST

A4: critical thinking, teamwork, actions &a consequences #espechat

MrPicha_PE Jan 10 @ 8:48 PM EST

A5 perhaps would help transfer knowledge about one sport to a new sport not learned at elem level? #espechat

smartintahoe Jan 10 @ 8:49 PM EST

A5: Prepares S's 4 strategic situations they see in MS & HS activities will prepare them 2 reach deeper strategies at that level #espechat

cpola17 Jan 10 @ 8:49 PM EST

2/2 more importantly learning tactics, skills, strategies etc that they could use in all areas of physical activity #espechat

A5.2: gets them used to being asked to think & play! It also gives them strategies4 success especially if they don't play sports #espechat

GHSaysRockChalk Jan 10 @ 8:51 PM EST

Often the questions are the same as mine, which means the elementary Ss are getting a quality #PhysEd experience! #espechat

CoachFoe Jan 10 @ 8:51 PM EST

A5 this is deeper life learning & prep 4 life as Ss start to solve on own not T giving answers & Ss repeat info. #espechat

In Ontario strategies are part of the new curriculum from grades 1-8, always in HS New in primary. #espechat

Q6: What non-traditional and world games could you combine with the #TGFU model? #espechat

GHSaysRockChalk Jan 10 @ 8:53 PM EST

.@smartintahoe & I believe that ALL games are world games. When we say WGs, we mean games that are unfamiliar to you or your Ss. #espechat

A6: Think about building your units around concepts/strategies/skills, not one sport for consecutive days. #espechat

CatchingHeather Jan 10 @ 8:58 PM EST

#espechat Totally can! Start with balloon & line on the floor. Then some cones,bench, low net. Soft skin balls, then thatched ball. You can!

MrPicha_PE Jan 10 @ 8:55 PM EST

A6 Sepak Takraw! Not that I'd quite do it at elem level though #espechat

cpola17 Jan 10 @ 8:58 PM EST

A6 I want to introduce spikeball or even Boccerball #espechat

GHSaysRockChalk Jan 10 @ 8:58 PM EST

And if this idea is too overwhelming, try it with one unit first. Pick your favorite game category/games/skills/concepts to try. #espechat
