What are three sports that should be taught with the whole-part-whole approach during PE?

The whole-part-whole approach to teaching sports is effective because it allows students to first experience the complete activity, then focus on specific components, and finally return to the full activity with improved skills and understanding. In the case of Soccer, Volleyball, and Badminton, all three sports involve both individual skill development and teamwork, making them well-suited for this method.

Starting with the whole game provides students with an understanding of how these sports are played in real-time, highlighting the importance of strategies, teamwork, and overall game scenarios. Then, breaking down specific skills such as passing in soccer, serving in volleyball, or smashing in badminton allows learners to focus on technical aspects that are critical for success. Finally, returning to the whole game after practicing these specific skills enables students to integrate what they've learned into their overall performance, improving their engagement and understanding of the sport.

Other choices involve sports that may not lend themselves as effectively to the whole-part-whole approach, either because they are more individualized activities (like Running, Jumping, Throwing), or they involve less team interaction (like Hiking, Swimming, Biking), thus not utilizing the dynamic and interactive nature that the whole-part-whole approach emphasizes in sports such as Soccer, Volleyball, and Badminton
