  1. 2. An aspect of formal games that can be modified as a developmental teaching strategy. For example, in soccer, playing without a goalie is a modification of the [blank] of soccer.
  2. 6. [Blank] models. A model of performance which is an expectation of the performance that a teacher is teaching toward, but that is contextually bound to the developmental level of the students.
  3. 10. Something that is done with a task within a game. An example is actually volleying a ball back and forth.
  4. 12. Improving performance by presenting challenges such as time constraints.
  5. 13. [Blank] model. A model that uses games to teach skills and strategy.
  6. 15. Something that is done to a task to make it more complex or easy by modifying the space or the complexity of the technique.
  7. 16. Teaching IN the game, for example, by providing learners with cues.

  1. 1. A type of game model that emphasizes understanding and decision-making through modified games. For example, beginning to teach tennis by having students throw the ball over the net instead of using rackets.
  2. 3. Reducing or increasing the technical or tactical demands of the game. For example, by manipulating the rules of the game.
  3. 4. The similarity between the practice tasks and the formal version of the game.
  4. 5. Something that is done to a task to improve the quality of performance. For example, focusing on bent knees.
  5. 7. An important activity that should be undertaken by teachers to evaluate the effectiveness of their teaching. For example, asking why they made certain decisions during a game or thinking about how the lesson plan compared to the actual progression of the lesson after the lesson is over.
  6. 8. [Blank] model. A model that progresses student learning from performing discrete skills into playing games in a systematic way. For example, in volleyball, bumping a volleyball in isolation and then bumping it back and forth with a partner.
  7. 9. [Blank] games. A type of game used as a "stepping stone" in which some skills or rules of a sport are introduced but there is no sequenced progression and little emphasis on tactical understanding. Not considered an effective way to teach sport. (Hint: the fifth character of the answer is not a letter, but a hyphen.)
  8. 11. A type of practice which uses modified games to develop skillful gameplay performance.
  9. 14. The teaching of game-like activities, modified games, and play practices that lead to the progression of a student's understanding and performance toward an increasingly more formal version of the sport.
