Game Categories in Action for Interdisciplinary Impact

Get ready to jump into a dynamic session that showcases games, activities, and learning experiences across the five game categories in physical education: Individual, Target, Net/Wall, Invasion, and Fielding/Running Games, designed to spark interdisciplinary connections! Participants will gain practical insights into designing activities that integrate these categories with other subjects, enhancing student engagement and skill transfer. The session will provide examples of how each game category can be adapted for cross-curricular connections, promoting a deeper understanding and application of concepts across the K-12 spectrum. Emphasis will be placed on fostering a collaborative, school-wide approach that extends beyond physical education, encouraging engagement in science, math, language arts, and social studies through physical activity. Attendees will leave with strategies to create inclusive, adaptable units and activities that encourage the transfer of skills across disciplines, increase physical literacy, and ultimately support a holistic approach to student learning.
