Learning Activities

INTRODUCTION

Inform students that today they will be learning

about Paralympic sport and key figures in the

Paralympic movement.

Ask students to reflect and discuss the

following concepts:

1. What is professional sport?

Professional sport: are sports in

which athletes receive payment for their

performance.

2. What are some examples of professional sport?

I.e., National Hockey League (NHL),

National Football League (NFL), Major

League Baseball (MLB), Major League

Soccer (MLS)

3. What are the Olympic Games?

Olympic Games: are an international

sporting event featuring summer

and winter sports competitions. The

games are held every four years,

with the Summer and Winter Games

alternating by occurring every four years

but two years apart.

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.

http://www.specialolympics.org/SimpleStories/SimpleContent.aspx?id=24191&LangType=1033

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.

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.

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.

• 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.
