The Commonwealth Games are starting this week! The competition offers a wonderful opportunity to change up your lessons and show your students how your subject translates into the real world. We have plenty of fun and engaging Commonwealth Games resources for the classroom.
Commonwealth Games Observation Sheet
The Commonwealth Games Observation Sheet is a free resource that your cherubs can use while watching the Games! Students watch an event and record a series of details including the type of event and who placed first, second and third.
Sport Literacy Challenge
The Sport Literacy Challenge is a great way to assess your students’ literacy abilities during the Commonwealth Games. Your cherubs choose one of the sport-related images and write as much information as they can about it, recalling prior knowledge or writing from a narrative perspective. This resource will assist you to better understand the literacy capabilities of your students. You may collect the responses as evidence of how each student’s literacy capabilities have improved over the year.
Design a Commonwealth Games Mascot
You can inspire your Textiles students to design a Commonwealth Games mascot with this resource! Your cherubs will generate ideas for their Games mascot and draw them on fashion croquis. They can then complete the worksheet which will prompt them to consider the elements of their design more thoroughly.
Countries Snap
Your students can learn about some of the countries competing in the Commonwealth Games with Countries Snap! Each card features a nation’s flag and information about its capital city. These cards have a focus on well-known countries and nations located in the Asia Pacific. If snap is not your vibe, your students can also use these cards to play memory or pens instead.
Nutrition for Commonwealth Games Athletes
Get your Food Technology students thinking about the nutritional requirements of Commonwealth Games athletes with this resource! Your cherubs select an athlete and investigate their nutritional requirements before designing a meal plan for their athlete’s competition day.
Sport Dot-to-Dot
These fun worksheets are great to have on hand for your Life Skills or primary school students during the Commonwealth Games. This resource comes with three different dot-to-dot worksheets for your cherubs to complete. They are also encouraged to identify the pieces of equipment and colour in their masterpiece once the dot-to-dot component is complete.
Design a Commonwealth Games Uniform
This is another fun Textiles resource to use during the Commonwealth Games! Students brainstorm some uniform designs by illustrating on fashion croquis. Your cherubs will then think more critically about their design ideas as they complete the corresponding worksheet.
Sport Find-a-Word
Your cherubs will love this Sport Find-a-Word during the Commonwealth Games! Students can complete the find-a-word activity featuring the names of different sports. They can then check their answers against the answer sheet, which is included in the pack. This Sport Find-a-Word is perfect to have on hand for fast finishers over the coming weeks.
We hope you and your students enjoy these Commonwealth Games resources!
