Does the Fair Play Game teaching strategy improve behaviors in physical education?

The Fair Play Game is a group contingency strategy in which students within a group can work together toward a final goal. This strategy gives teachers the flexibility to choose behaviors or skills they think are important to be changed or improved, and to be monitored. Vidoni, Lee, and Azevedo (2013) investigated whether this teaching strategy had any effect on sixth-grade physical education students' number of steps during a 17-lesson team handball unit. They also investigated whether the Fair Play Game was an acceptable teaching strategy for the participating teacher and students.
