Sporting Ambassadors: 2012 Values Challenge

The Sporting Ambassadors 2012 Values Challenge is aimed at pupils in Years 4 – 9 and is designed to encourage them to think about what each value means, how an Olympian or Paralympian embodies each value in their lives, and how the values can be important in the lives of each and every one of us.

We hope that the challenge will be an interesting way for your school to explore the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and could be a project for your Sporting Ambassadors to get involved with, for example by introducing it in assembly.

The Values Challenge works in the following way:

• Pupils are given a 'Can you live like an Olympian or Paralympian?' booklet containing 7 Challenge pages linked to each value.
• Pupils complete a challenge linked to each value (some ideas are listed on each page) and on completion of each page asks their teacher to sign it and put a sticker at the top of the page (A downloadable sticker template will be available shortly).
• On completion of all 7 values, pupils will be awarded with a certificate to show they have completed the Sporting Ambassadors 2012 Values Challenge.
