Topic: Intramural and Extramural Activities and Tournament
Subtopic: Definition and Types of Tournament
Learning Objectives:
By the end of the lesson, learners should be able to:
- Define the term "tournament."
- Identify and describe at least four types of tournaments.
- Explain the differences between various tournament formats.
- Suggest appropriate tournament types for different school events.
Previous Knowledge:
Learners are familiar with organized school activities and have discussed intramural and extramural sports events.
Instructional Materials:
- Flashcards with types of tournaments
- Tournament bracket charts
- Posters of local/national/international sports tournaments
- Whiteboard and markers
- Sample schedules of round robin and knockout tournaments
ABC Teaching Model
A - Anticipation (Warm-Up) – 5 minutes
Teacher prompts:
- Ask: “Have you ever been part of a tournament?”
- Ask: “Do you know how teams are grouped and eliminated in competitions?”
Activity:
- While doing arm rotations and jogging on the spot, students name sports tournaments they know (e.g., World Cup, Olympics, School Inter-house Games).
B - Building Knowledge (Main Lesson) – 25 minutes
Definition:
- A tournament is a series of contests among competitors, where the goal is to determine a winner.
Types of Tournament:
- Knockout Tournament: Teams are eliminated after a loss (e.g., FIFA World Cup).
- Round Robin Tournament: All teams play each other at least once (e.g., UEFA Champions League group stage).
- League Tournament: Points are earned over a season; highest point wins (e.g., English Premier League).
- Challenge Tournament: A champion is challenged by a challenger (e.g., boxing title matches).

- Watch short clips of different tournament types (sports highlights).
C - Consolidation (Review and Assessment) – 10 minutes
Review Questions:

Assignment:
- Draw a tournament bracket for 4 and 8 teams using knockout format.
- Write a paragraph on the advantages of round robin over knockout tournaments.
- Interview a PE teacher or coach on the most used tournament format in your school.
Detailed Notes:
- Each tournament type has its benefits and is chosen based on fairness, time, and resources.
- Knockout is quick and easy, while round robin is thorough.
- Schools use different formats for variety and efficiency.
Expanded Instructions:
- Guide groups through bracket creation with real examples.
- Emphasize fairness and practicality when choosing tournament formats.
- Reinforce definitions through repetition and visuals.
Inclusive/Differentiation:
- Use labeled diagrams and real-world examples for all learners.
- Support slower learners during group work.
- Let visual learners use charts and artistic representation of brackets.
Teacher’s Reflection:
- Did learners grasp the various tournament types?
- Were they able to relate them to real competitions?
- Did practical exercises (bracket creation) improve understanding?
- Which format did they prefer and why?
