    Using cooperative games in physical education can positively impact classroom culture by building confidence, creating connections between students, and fostering a positive learning environment. Research shows cooperative games encourage participation and willingness to try new skills when students feel comfortable and supported by their peers. The implementation of traditional Indigenous games can also help students learn about First Nations, Métis, and Inuit identity and culture. One teacher found success with games that involved negotiation, teamwork, and friendly competition, noting students were fully engaged and bonded with their "tribe mates." Quantitative data showed participation rates increased from January to March as students gained confidence with support from their peers.

    How Did This Unit
    Work?

    Some Cooperative Games…..

    Fitness Negotiations
    In this engaging and interactive fitness lesson students
    go to their classmates and negotiate the swapping of
    exercise amounts. Each student will write the name of
    their partner, agreement, and have their classmate sign
    the agreement.

    This lesson was a success, students bought in and loved


    the negotiations. They were completing different physical
    literacy movements.

    Some Cooperative Games…..

    Longball
    Students acknowledged what land we are
    on, Treaty 7 territory. They were able to play
    a traditional Indigenous game and
    critically think about the ways Indigenous
    identity has shaped the way we play
    games today.
