Abstract

Organizing activity games in physical education (PE) lessons presents various challenges that can hinder student engagement and learning outcomes. This article addresses the common problems encountered in PE lessons, including lack of planning and preparation, safety concerns, issues of inclusivity and differentiation, lack of student engagement, and time constraints imposed by the curriculum. Practical solutions are proposed, such as effective lesson planning, safety protocols, inclusive practices, diversified game choices, and a balanced curriculum allocation. By implementing these strategies, PE teachers can create an engaging and inclusive learning environment that promotes physical fitness, motor skills development, teamwork, and overall well-being in students. Continuous evaluation and improvement are necessary to ensure the long-term effectiveness of the implemented solutions.
