Aims
Objectives

• AIMS
• Becoming an active participant
• OBJECTIVES
• To become actively engaged with sport and exercise, to understand how inspirational
sportspeople can enrich their experience of sport and how they can use those values in
their own sporting endeavours
• OUTCOMES
• Thinking about inspirational values as a way of creating mutual understanding and
helping you to achieve your goals
• This is best for small
groups. Ask each group
to think of 5 qualities
that their team would
need if they were
stranded on a desert
island. . This activity
helps young people to
learn about other's
values and problem
solving styles and
promotes teamwork. Ask
each group to share with
the group as a whole
Pat On The Back
• Ask young people to
stand in a circle,
everyone facing inwards.
Now throw a ball or
bean bag to a young
person and ask them to
say a word or phrase
that inspires them. They
then throw the ball to
another young person.
Repeat until everyone
who wants to participate
has had a go
Marooned
Ball Toss
Icebreakers
• Ask young people to
draw round their hands,
then cut out their hand
prints. Tape onto young
person’s back and then
encourage young people
to mingle and write
positive things on each
other’s hand prints.
Encourage young people
to write about each
other’s positive values.
Then ask young people
to read and share the
comments and how they
feel.

GET PEOPLE TALKING!
Need more ideas? Use the ‘Know Your Values’ quiz
http://getset.london2012.com/en/resources/14-16/games-1-1-1-1/14-16-knowyour-values to kick start some great conversations
What is the most
inspiring sporting
moment you’ve ever
seen? Why did it
inspire you?
Does playing
sport inspire you
to do better in
life?
Who or what do
you think will be
the most inspiring
story of the
Olympics?
"The difference between
the impossible and the
possible lies in a man's
determination.“ Do you
agree with this
motivational sports quote?
Do you think this applies
just to sport?
If you get involved in
sports you get a lot
more than just a
healthy body – do you
agree? What effect
does sport have on
you in other ways?
Inspired to Dance
PLAN
DO
WHAT
NEXT
Ask young people to find a song that really inspires them on the Dance Mat – tell them they can
listen to the song first to help inspire them
Hold a dance off! After each performance ask young people to feed back on how they felt
dancing to a song that inspires them – did they perform better than they usually do? Did
they find that the music helped them to perform better than usual?
What was the most popular song to dance to? What do young people find particularly
inspirational about this song?
What songs would young people like to perform to? If you have the expertise, why not
choreograph your own inspirational dance performance?
Inspired Performance
THINK ABOUT: Sportsmen often
use music to inspire their
performances – ask young
people to put together a 3 track
inspirational playlist and listen to
it before playing a Wii Sports
game
PLAY: choose your favourite Wii
Sport – tennis would be good –
and play a game. Now ask young
people to feed back on their
performance – did listening to
their inspirational playlist
improve their performance? Did
they make the right choice of
music?
WHAT NEXT: Try matching the
music to the sporting
performance you hope to
achieve – try matching the beats
per minute to the intensity of the
sport you’re participating in!
Now try and find the ideal cool
down music
Young People’s Challenge:
Most Inspirational Coach
PLAN: Challenge youth workers at
your centre to a game – this could be
a dance mat challenge, Wii Sports or
(if you have the facilities) pool, table
tennis or 5 a side football etc.
Nominate someone to be your coach
and encourage them to research
techniques for inspiring a team
DO: Get your coach to motivate the
team using everything they’ve
discovered about inspiring and
motivating a team – then play!
Feedback after the game – did the
coaching techniques work? Would
you have done anything differently?
Keep your comments positive – even
if you lose!
WHAT NEXT: Why not encourage your
coach to do a Sports Leaders Award?

SPORTING HEROES
GOLDEN MOMENTS
INSPIRATION JAR
Reflect on ideas about what
makes a sporting hero &
how they inspire us
Reflect on ideas about how
inspirational performances
inspire us
Reflect on where we find
inspiration every day
Create a biography of your
sporting hero using text,
video, collage or music
focusing on their
inspirational values
Share your hero by creating
a ‘Hero Gallery’
Think about what
inspirational qualities your
heroes share and how they
inspire you in your life
Create stage a recreation of
your favourite ‘Golden
Moment’ – maybe Dame
Kelly or Sir Steve, Sir Chris
or many of the other great
moments
Create an inspiration jar by
finding words & images that
inspire you – decorate a
large jar and put your words,
phrases and images inside
Share your Golden moment
by creating a video for
upload
Share your jars by
displaying them and asking
other young people to
choose an inspiration at
random
Think about how you can
take inspiration from those
moments into your own life
Think about similarities &
differences in what you find
inspirational
Recording & Evaluation
3 WORD EVALUATION: go round the group asking young people to sum up their
experience in the session in 3 words. You can steer the evaluation by giving them a
guide question to answer e.g. what did you enjoy most? You could also make this a 5
word evaluation but the point is to keep it short and fun – you could also do this to
top and tail a session to understand young people’s expectations beforehand and
their learning afterwards
COLLAGE: provide small groups of young people with old magazines and other good
collage materials and ask them to produce an A4 collage that reflects their feelings
about the session/sessions – these can then be displayed and discussed by the group
in terms of similarities and differences, universal themes, potential changes and
follow up activities
RACETRACK EVALUATION: either print out the sheet or draw a track with a start and
finish line on flip chart paper. Ask young people to draw a representation of where
they feel they are on the track – are they running a sprint or a longer race? - and ask
them to add hurdles (to represent barriers they may have faced), a cheering crowd
or any other visual element that represents how they feel their personal ‘race’ has
developed. Again, this could be used before and after the session
Race Evaluation
Young People’s Challenge:
Memory Boxes
AIM
•To record and evaluate feelings & thoughts on ‘inspiration’ through the creation of a memory box like
those of Joseph Cornell www.josephcornellbox.com/
METHOD
•MATERIALS: cardboard boxes, magazines, art materials, young people’s found objects
•Think about discussions on ‘inspiration’ and encourage young people to collect items to fill their own
‘memory box’ to reflect the values and ideas they’ve thought about
•Memory boxes can contain images, items, written text – anything that reflects the idea of ‘inspiration’
WHAT NEXT
• Display your memory boxes!
• Discuss the similarities and differences between the boxes and their contents – what values do all the
boxes reflect? What did young people think about the process of making their box? What difficulties were
there in turning ideas into 3D images and how did young people solve them? Did the process change
young people’s ideas about the values of inspiration?
