Utilizing a Novel Game to Maximize Physical Activity Participation in Physical Education
Oh, Hyun-Ju
Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, v93 n8 p15-21 2022
Novel games can enrich a physical education (PE) curriculum by providing students opportunities to increase their moderate to vigorous physical activity and understanding new game concepts, playing positions and physical skills (Clancy et al., 2007). Quidditch is a relatively new game that includes unique characteristics to enhance an existing curriculum. It was initially adapted from "Harry Potter" novels and is now played worldwide. The game offers an alternative to traditional games, empowering all genders to compete together through the four-maximum rule of Quidditch. Providing an opportunity for co-gender game participation is a meaningful way to form students' perceptions of the game and build a more inclusive physical education class. This article provides sample standards-based formative and summative assessment templates, instructional strategies, and resources to teach students how a nontraditional game is played.
