Game and Intrinsic Motivation: Basketball Teaching for Pupil

The cultivation of pupils’ sports interests is related to the formation of pupils’ sports habits and their physical health in the future. At present, the physical condition of primary and secondary school students in China is not optimistic. Basketball, as a part of school sports, is widely carried out in schools in China. Scientific organization of basketball teaching in primary schools can better improve the physical quality of pupils and cultivate their interest in basketball. Pupils are still in the stage of physical and mental development, and their bones, muscles and nervous system are not well developed, their attention is easy to be distracted, and they can not carry out large amount of exercise, so they should focus on motivational exercise and basic teaching. As a means of teaching, games can improve pupils’ interest in the practice and stimulate their intrinsic motivation to participate in basketball, which should be appropriately increased in teaching.
