In Episode 37, I share what would easily be my most requested game. Students love the fast-paced game of Shark Tiggy and the surprising element of whether they need to 'run' or stay put on their boat.
As I mentioned in the episode, it is a game that somewhat challenges my PE philosophies but it is also one that gets students moving, thinking, and cheering for their peers.

In Episode 36, I had the opportunity to sit down with Ben Shields. Ben is an exceptional Physical Educator that I have admired from afar for some time, so I was thrilled to have the chance to talk 'shop'.
Ben has an incredible understanding of teaching PE as a result of working in a variety of schools in 4 different countries. He shares some fantastic insights into driving engagement through the use of themed units of work, introduces the idea of 'Assessment BINGO', and discusses how important 'connection before content' has been throughout his teaching journey.
Be sure to grab yourself a notebook, or open a fresh 'notes' page on your phone, because I promise you, you will want to jot down notes throughout this episode.

In this episode, I share my approach to teaching students about Striking and fielding games from the ground up. This layered, differentiated approach allows students to slowly grasp a deeper understanding of the skills, strategies, and tactics involved in Striking and fielding games.
While I share this approach with a focus on my Grade 5 classes, I have successfully used it with the Junior classes within my schools in previous years.

Ever been asked the question 'How do you incorporate Literacy within your PE program?' I know I have, and in this episode, I share my answer.
These simple games and activities will not only get your students moving, cooperating, and having fun, but they'll be working on their Literacy skills at the same time.
These games and activities are fantastic to support the work of classroom teachers, to throw in a Year Level Sports rotation, or to teach to your staff to help them incorporate movement within their lessons.

In Episode 32, I share my approach to building enthusiasm and excitement around the Olympics. The best part is, that this doesn't have to be run just when the Olympics are on, as this approach to PE lessons can be used at any time. Regardless of when it is used, this approach will build enthusiasm, teamwork, and cooperation within your class.

Following the chat with Pete last week, and specifically touching on tiggy based games that incorporate FMS, this game is the perfect follow up.
As mentioned within the episode, the game was learnt from facilitating coaches that work for the Australian Football League, who ran this game with students during a recent clinic. It is a fantastic way to get students moving, yet practising FMS that are specific to the game of Australian Football.
