  Introduction

Your school wants your class to make recommendations for the next sports carnival. The main aim is for more students to participate, and to take on roles and responsibilities to make the occasional event a fun one.

Are you up for the job?

The school is also keen for you to highlight the importance of having an active and healthy lifestyle and the importance of safety.

 
  Recommendations

Think about some activities you like to do – or want to try at the next sports carnival? Also think about some of the occasional foods that could be available at the sports carnival and make sure that you include everyday foods, which provide energy. Your whole class has been asked to make the occasional carnival recommendations, not just you. You will need to share your thoughts and then collate the best recommendations.

Make a list of your own ideas, then share with the class.

Step 1 – Trace around your hand on a blank piece of paper.

Step 2 – On each of the fingers put your recommendations that you would like to see happen at the next sports carnival. Include both foods and activities. In the large part of the hand put the reasons why you would like to see these recommendations.

Step 3 - Share these recommendations with others in the class. Pin up your drawing of your hand on a wall or board as shown by your teacher. Read everyone’s recommendations and, using a pen, put a tick if you like the recommendation.

Step 4 - Collate the data and put the most popular recommendations up on the board. Make sure the physical activities are safe and remember to have a balance of everyday and occasional foods.

You could create a poster and show these as a list. Use the computer to make it look neat and attractive.

  Presentation

You have your class recommendations for the next sports carnival, however, the school also wanted you to make the occasional event a fun one.

With two other people, (your teacher will help form this group) work together to develop and present to the class your tips to make the occasional carnival a fun one. Also remember to include your class recommendations in this presentation.

It is important when you are physically active that you warm up. Firstly make a list of safe warm ups that move the whole body. Include in your presentation one (1) special warm up that all students could do on the day of the carnival.

Carnival ideas

Try the wheel relay. It’s a fun, activity that you could include as part of a sporting day or athletics carnival. It will get everyone involved. Your teacher will give you instructions about this activity.

You can present your findings in a variety of ways. The presentation should be short, interesting and useful to others who might be asked to do the same task sometime. You can make use of any of the following:

Slideshow eg PowerPoint
  Report or oral presentation
  Inspiration® or similar concept mapping program
  Poem
  Letter
  Poster
  Oral speech / talk
  Make a video
  Make a radio segment

Well done on developing a range of ideas for the school to take up for the next sports carnival.

They all sound like fun.
