real nonsense episode 4: Mastering skills: Why just playing the game isn't enough

In this episode we discuss why putting children into games before they've developed fundamental skills is setting many up for failure. As educators, we wouldn't expect children to write essays without teaching letter formation and sentence structure first, so why do we expect this in PE?

Our hosts discuss: Why game-based learning is valuable BUT insufficient alone. How to make deliberate practice engaging and effective. Creating progression that builds physical literacy year-on-year. 

Listen now and enjoy the conversation about creating more coherent, inclusive physical education experiences.
