TGfU is a model for teaching games that focuses on developing tactical awareness, decision making and problem solving through modified game play, rather than isolated skill drills. The TGfU model involves students first appreciating the game, then learning tactics and movement concepts, followed by developing decision making abilities within a game situation. It emphasizes skill execution and performance within the game context. Key strengths are its focus on student-centered learning through fun and enjoyment, as well as catering to varying ability levels through questioning, analysis and feedback.
