Abstract
Formative assessments have positive impact in physical education, as students perform better in terms of skills, are more on-task, and have a higher response rate. The inclusion of formative assessment in physical education lessons provides structure and focus, thus helping teachers deliver lessons more effectively. Assessment for learning is formative assessment except the focus is on students taking ownership of their own learning. This article aims to share three assessment for learning tools and strategies PE teachers can use when teaching games: (1) Hit map for net-barrier games; (2) Heat map for territorial/invasion games; and (3) Statistical count tool for games. Such peer-assessment tools can be used to provide teachers with data evidence for student learning, allow students to receive individual feedback on their game performance, and to set own goals, thereby promoting student ownership. This article also shares some considerations to note when implementing peer-assessment tools.
