This article presents information relating to the use of a specific family of pedagogical approaches, namely gamebased approaches (GBAs), as a means to design physical education curricula that develops and recognizes learners as MKOs. Also discussed is Wiggins and McTighe's (2005) Understanding by Design framework and its use in designing a PE curriculum that aligns to the key features of GBA implementation. Finally, strategies are presented to help teachers overcome common challenges of GBA implementation so that more MKOs are recognized and developed in our PE classes.
