English language arts and social responsibility were integrated into a unit of table tennis in fifth-grade physical education. The student roles were adapted to best fit the needs of the unit. Through the integration of three domains of learning, students developed their cognitive (English language arts [grammar and vocabulary]), affective (social responsibility) and psychomotor (table tennis) skills.
