Forming part of the celebrations for the 40th anniversary of the Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) model, monthly ‘spotlights’ were published on some of the key models/approaches within the field of Game-Based Approaches (GBAs). I am continuing this initiative by presenting Bunker and Thorpe’s (1982) Curriculum Model, more commonly referred to as the TGfU model. Examples of the practical application of TGfU are provided below. Also included are videos of a key academic in the development of TGfU, Len Almond, in discussions with Alan Ovens at the 30th Anniversary Conference, and what is believed to be Len’s keynote speech from the 1st International TGfU Conference in New Hampshire, 2001.
