This study was conducted to identify teaching methods used by Bagan Datuk District Tamil schools' physical education teachers. Quantitative approach with a one-shot case study design was used for this study. Total of 60 physical education teachers from the Bagan Datuk district were chosen using the purposive sampling method as respondents. A simple questionnaire developed by the researcher was used in this study to collect the data. The data were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that 66.7% of PE teachers apply the instructional method, 25% use the regular game's strategy, and 5% use the modified game's method. Analysis based on gender showed there were no significant differences. Both men and women teachers prefer to teach using traditional methods. Most of them said it's easy to teach in the traditional way rather than new methods because of no exam for physical education. In conclusion, most of the Tamil schools' Physical Education teachers are familiar with the instructional method. Therefore, multi-approach must be maximized in Physical Education classes to enhance pupils' physical activity and wellness achievement.
