October Fair Play lesson
Fair play is an important topic to my students. We have already had several recess and gym class issues with students who choose to “play by their own rules.” They were excited to learn more about how to play fair and improve their sportsmanship.
Here is the link to my Google Slides presentation that we used for our Fair Play lesson:
It includes some of my favorite quotes on fair play as well as links to the following examples of fair play:
After viewing and discussing the video examples, students did a value line activity.
We had some lively discussion, especially around the one item: Cheaters never win. Some students thought that it was possible that cheaters might win if they weren’t caught, but all agreed that if someone isn’t playing by the rules when they win, then it really isn’t a true victory.
Our athlete mentor, Arianne Jones, talked in her video about how individual athletes compete against each other, but can still show fair play and good sportsmanship by training together, cheering teammates on, and building each other up with encouragement, rather than putting each other down. Thanks for these helpful tips, Arianne!
I love this graphic that I found on on the webpage for Coach van Gaalen from International School Manila:
Next week, we are doing our skits about fair play. We will choose our best skits and put them into a video to share with you all. Until next time, keep your stick on the ice and play fair, everyone!
