Questioning to enhance learning during fundamental movement skills activities
The following are some examples of the type of questions you could ask during activities
Skill questions- Develop feedback and skill awareness eg “what did you notice when you pushed off the ground?” or “what was the fastest part of your throw?”
Tactical questions- Develop decision making and problem solving in regards to strategies of the game/activity eg “how do you move your opponent?” or “how did you take your opponents time away?”
Review questions- Develop thinking skills by modifying activities to make it more challenging and fun. Eg “What would you change about this activity?” or “what did you enjoy about this activity?” or “what did you learn?”
