In this study, we examined what teaching strategies need to be prepared for physical education classes in which children devise their own diverse ways of enjoying themselves, and we examined the issues and results that arise from implementing a long jump class based on the theory of games. The results were as follows. 1）Teachers must always organize the prelusory goals of the game, the constitutive rules, and the challenges that arise from them, and see whether the children are sufficiently immersed in the enjoyment of the challenges that have been predetermined. In addition, to ensure that children can follow the shared constitutive rules, it is necessary to prepare several contexts and fictions that can be reconfigured according to the situation. 2）The design of such games should leave some space for the children to choose internal means according to their abilities, based on their willingness. 3）In order to expand the possibilities of enjoying the game, the teacher should organize and communicate to the children that while the prelusory goals and constitutive rules of the game must be followed, the internal means and lusory goals can be freely changed. 4）In order to match the teacher’s goals with the children’s internal means and lusory goals, taking into account the degree of task completion and the time spent on activities, the teacher should think about how to direct the children’s consciousness so that it is ultimately directed toward the teacher’s goals.
