8. What are some commonalities between these four types of sports? (Professional, Olympic, Special Olympics, Paralympics)
All are sports that include athletes, coaches,
training, specialized equipment, rules,
celebrations, competition, fans, excitement,
Canadian athletes etc.
5. What are the Special Olympics?
Special Olympics: To be eligible to
participate in Special Olympics, athletes
must be at least eight years old and
identified as having one of the following
conditions: intellectual disabilities, cognitive
delays, or significant learning or vocational
problems due to cognitive delay. Through
a process called divisioning, Special
Olympics competitions are structured so
that athletes compete with other athletes of
similar gender, age and ability in equitable
divisions.

6. What are the Paralympic Games?
Paralympic Games: The Paralympic
Games are similar to the Olympic Games,
where athletes from different countries
around the world come together to
compete against each other. The main
difference and unique aspect of the
Paralympic Games is that all athletes
have an impairment, most often physical
or visual. There are also three sports
(swimming, athletics and table tennis), that
include competition for athletes with an
intellectual impairment. Athletes must meet
the qualification standards of their sport to
be able to compete in the Paralympics.

THINK, PAIR, SHARE
Present students with a picture of each summer
and winter Paralympic sport, one at a time
(printed or projected onto a white board). Have
students work individually to try and name each
sport as it appears.
Next, in pairs, instruct students to discuss and
reflect on the following questions:
1. What is the name of the sport?
Aron GhebreyohannesGoalball
2. What in the picture helped you determine what sport it is?
3. Do you notice any similarities to other sports you are familiar with?

ACTIVITY
Inform students that they will be creating a
crossword puzzle based on one of the 28
Paralympic sports. Provide each student with one
of the Paralympic sports (from the Paralympic
Sport List) to research and then create the
following documents:
1. Single page overview of the sport (e.g., equipment, players, rules etc.)
2. Crossword puzzle words and corresponding clues (e.g., Boccia Jack – target ball players aim at to score points).
Next, have students create their own unique
Paralympic sport crossword puzzle, using a free
online Crossword Puzzle maker (see links listed
in the Web Links section or use Google search). If
possible, print off all students’ crossword puzzles
and have them switch puzzle documents with a
partner. Instruct students to provide the partner
with both the sport overview page and crossword
puzzle to complete.

sport visit each respective National Sport Organization website. This information can be found on the Canadian Paralympic Committee website at paralympic.ca/paralympic-sport

Learning Activities
INTRODUCTION
Have students watch the Paralympic Sports
Montage Video. Ask students the following
question:
What do we think the Paralympic Games are?
The Paralympic Games is an international sporting event for individuals with a physical, visual or sometimes intellectual impairment.
Although they do not receive the same media coverage as the Olympics, the Paralympics – para meaning parallel or equal to – are equivalent to the Olympic Games.
The Paralympics began in 1948, when the Stoke Mandeville Games were held in Aylesbury, England. The Paralympics began as a means to rehabilitate injured or wounded World War II veterans back to active duty or to re-integrate individuals into society. Over time, participation in para-sports became more than rehabilitation and therapy; involvement in parasport focused on enjoyment, athleticism or competition.
The Paralympics take place every two years immediately following the Olympic Games. Athletes are required to meet qualifying standards to compete and are committed and dedicated to their sports.
Canada has competed in every Summer and Winter Paralympic Games since 1968 and is well-known for its strong performances and great athletes.

THINK, PAIR, SHARE
Instruct students to independently brainstorm
Instruct students to imagine that they are attending the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games this summer. Have students work independently and answer the following questions:
Which sport events would they want to watch?
What activities would they want to try?
Who would they bring with them for the day?
Which athletes would they want to meet and cheer for?
What sites would they want to visit?
What would they like to learn more about in Rio de Janeiro?
Next, have students find a partner and share their
itinerary. Instruct pairs work together to create
unique Rio 2016 Paralympic Games themes that
they would like to learn more about. Have pairs
share their unique themes with the rest of the class.
ACTIVITY
Inform students that as a class you will be creating
a Rio 2016 Paralympic Games Team Canada
magazine. If possible, have students create the
magazine online.
Each student will have a specific role assignment
within the creation of the magazine. As a
class, create a list of all possible roles and/or
responsibilities required to create a magazine. For
example role assignments can include but are not
limited to:
Writers/Journalists
• Athlete bios
• Equipment articles
• Event spotlights
• Interview of Chef de Mission
• Venue overviews
• Etc.

Layout Design
• Overall magazine layout
• Front cover and back cover design
Art Designers
• Artwork design
• Ad design (athlete apparel, promo for
athletes, equipment ads)
• Article illustrations and design
Editors
• Article editing
• Ad editing
Manufacturing
• Online – actual construction and upload
of the magazine (i.e., website development,
online magazine creator)
• Paper - actual construction of the
magazine (i.e., what materials to use, how
will it all fit together)
Instruct students to independently write down and
submit their top three role assignment choices.
For younger students: Provide each student with
a role and/or responsibility based on their top
choices.
For older students: Allow students to work
together to determine what role and/or
responsibility each person will take on.
Work as a class to determine an order of
process for the different magazine pieces and
components. For example, the process for a
written athlete article could include:
Step 1: Writer submits the idea to the Layout Design Team
Step 2: Article is written
Step 3: Article is submitted to Editing Team
Step 4: Writer makes edits to article
Step 5: Article is sent to Artwork Design Team
Step 6: Article is finalized
Step 7: Article is sent to Manufacturing Team
Have students work to complete their individual
assignments, collaborating with the other
classmates to receive feedback and support.
Once the magazine is complete, share it with us
at the Canadian Paralympic Committee so we can
share it with Team Canada athletes attending the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.
