Abstract: Many primary and middle school students say, "we like sports, but we do not like physical education class,which puzzles PE educators in both primary and secondary schools, and also questions the PE teaching content and methodology, and even questions the function and value of PE. Although PE originated in the sports culture of pursuing fun, it has been further away from this culture. The reason is when sports become physical education, it has, to a large extent, lost the spontaneity and autonomy of sports and small groups of friends and family sporting, and it has also lost fierce match and thorough systematic training, and the opportunities for competition and performance and non-utilitarian nature of sports and so on. The reason why PE learning has lost sports fun also includes non-scientific factors in PE teaching and biases towards PE teachers' teaching ability and teaching style, and the restricted development condition of school physical education. PE educators have made great efforts to achieve attractive and funny PE teaching. These efforts can be roughly summed up as four ideas and methods: theory and practice of happy physical education based on teaching material amusement and teaching methods; theory and practice of happy physical education to ensure learning initiative and create various challenges; theory and practice of happy physical education to make every student succeed; theory and practice of happy physical education to restore sports competition system and sports fun. The four methodologies have both advantages and defects.This article puts forward five ways to return sports fun to PE class: strategy and practice of scientific curriculum; strategy and practice of teaching options specialization; strategy and work of teaching materialization for sports events; strategy and practice of game playing in skill teaching; strategy and practice of classroom competition and so on.

Key words: sports, PE teaching, sports fun, happy PE, successful PE, sports education
