The study aimed to develop a scale to measure the theoretical knowledge of physical education curriculum game skills among intermediate and secondary school teachers in Zakho City. The descriptive survey method was adopted, and the sample included 215 teachers, divided into construction and application groups. The scale covered five main games: football, basketball, volleyball, handball, and track and field. It was constructed following scientifically recognized steps, ensuring validity, reliability, and objectivity. Results revealed that football scored the highest level of theoretical knowledge, while handball scored the lowest. Statistically significant differences were found between the games and between the two teacher groups, in favor of intermediate school teachers. The study recommends the implementation of training programs to enhance teacher competence—particularly at the secondary level—and updating the curriculum to strengthen its theoretical components.
