Identify the main intention of games (e.g., target games – to send away an object and make contact with a specific stationary target in fewer attempts or with more accuracy than the opponent; striking/fielding games – to place a ball away from fielders in order to run to bases and score more runs than opponents; invasion/territorial games – invading, getting possession, keeping possession, scoring on opponents' goal) and suggest how these affect strategies used.

Cooperatively design, explain, and manage a team game involving given criteria (e.g., must include at least one target, at least two pieces of equipment, some vigorous movement, and a goal) to be played by classmates.

Identify and apply effective tactics to use in various games (e.g., striking games – placement of object, coverage of field; net games – positioning, placement of object; invasion games – moving to the open spaces when not in possession of the object).

Explain and apply tactics and simple rules used in low-organizational and cooperative games (e.g., tag games, prisoner's base, bombardment).

Explain and apply tactics and simple rules used in lead-up games and activities that would be fun and easily played during recess and other activity breaks (e.g., four-square, hopscotch, fox and geese, snowsnakes, tag games).

Demonstrate controlled body movement when participating in activities that involve chasing, fleeing, and dodging others, and avoiding objects like pylons (Note: Dodge ball games are not recommended).

Demonstrate effective selection of movement skills and correct application of performance cues (e.g., look at target, move into open spaces, visually track object) in throwing and catching type games (e.g., keep away, person-in-the-middle).

Respond physically and correctly to movement vocabulary verbalized by the teacher (e.g., run to the North, turn in the direction that the sun sets, glide on two feet, frog kick with your legs).

Follow given directions and/or symbols to perform cooperative team tactics in specified situations (e.g., indoor kickball – spread out to cover the open spaces when team is on defense; orienteering race – follow a map to locate items to be gathered and return to a starting point).

Identify and practise, with guidance, skills and strategies used in alternate environment activities including outdoor pursuits (e.g., skating: proper skating posture, push and glide, forward stops, forward skating manoeuvres; swimming: basic backstroke, crawl stroke and breathing; orienteering: basic map reading).
