Instructions

Before you begin
- Print out a copy of the sports diary sheet for every member of the group.
1- Print and cut out copies of the question cards.


Session one: discuss your sport
1. Everyone should have a conversation about the sports they do regularly. What are the sports? How often do they do them? What do they like about their sport?
2. Everyone should think of something from their sport that they could teach to the rest of the group. This could be a technique or trick, a rule, or the language used in the sport. Everyone should prepare something and think about bringing in any equipment that is required.
3. Everyone should talk about whether it’s still fun to play a sport even when it’s difficult. They should think of some examples that make their answer come to life.
4. Everyone should take a copy of the sports diary sheet to fill in next time they do their sport. A sports diary or training log can help people keep track of the sports they do, record their achievements, and reflect on what they did well and what they could do better. Many famous athletes including Serena Williams (American tennis player), Ellie Simmonds (British swimmer and Scouts Ambassador), and Michael Phelps (American swimmer) keep diaries.


Session two: discuss your diary
1. Everyone should split into small teams and share their diary entries, focussing on what went well and what could be improved.
2. Everyone should show their team something from their sport that they planned in the previous session.
3. Use the question cards as prompts. Everyone should mingle and ask one or two questions to someone before finding a new person to ask more questions.


Change the level of challenge
Skip the writing and just use the drawing page of the diary if preferred. Keep the diary for several weeks to chart even more progress.
