TGfU @ home
During the global pandemic of 2020, we introduced #TGfU_athome for our community to create short videos (less than 5 minutes) of super small side games (invasion, net and wall, field and bat, or target) that could be played at home. The objective was to keep people physically and mentally active; particularly for the students who were without Physical Education or after-school sports due to COVID-19.
As we are designing modified games for home, we would also have to overcome the spatial and equipment limitations, as well as having a very small number of players, and possibly of different ages and skill level. You would have to do it with high doses of creativity and UNDERSTANDING. For the videos to be of high educational quality, we proposed that the following key TGfU / ECD elements should be maintained:
We proposed the following scheme for the video:
This initiative is an adaptation of the TGfU Video Tutorial Library Project developed by the TGfU Advisory International Board of the TGfU SIG.The easiest way to spread them would be to upload them to YouTube, Twitter or Instagram including the tag #TGfU_athome in the title.
We would like to continue to encourage this project. If you have any examples, please send them to: [email protected] or tag us in Twitter/X @TGfUInfo with #TGfU_athome

You would have to do it with high doses of creativity and UNDERSTANDING. For the videos to be of high educational quality, we proposed that the following key TGfU / ECD elements should be maintained:
- "Playable" games: games that do not have great technical limitations and that allow the student to really play from the beginning.
- The game must be, above all, a problem, which highlights the component of decision-making above the motor difficulty.
- Game + reflect + Game. Once the kids have experienced the game and understands its rules, ask guided discovery questions that focus their thinking to solve the different problems that occur during the game, both defensive and offensive, on and off the ball.
We proposed the following scheme for the video:
- Presentation: name of the game
- Explanation of the basic rules of the game (the secondary ones can remain unexplained, they can either be intuited when watching the video or they are left for the players to agree on, which is also very educational)
- Questions for guided discovery
- Possible modifications for
- Use other spaces or materials
- Players with different skill levels
