1. The Olympic Games have a MOTTO
written by Pierre de Coubertin in
1894โฆ

from our motto
* brainstorm and write down as many ideas as possible in each column ๏

what kind of learning/skills could we do faster?
what kind of learning/skills could we do longer?

SMARTIA, commit to as we enter the

and the honor of our teams."
5. Olympic Oaths are also taken by
coaches and by refereesโฆ

6. The Special Olympics oath is:
"Let me win. But if I cannot
win, let me be brave in
the attempt.โ
๏ These words were spoken by Roman gladiators as they
entered the arena, facing the greatest battle of their
lives.
๏ The Special Olympic athletes recite the oath at the
Opening Ceremonies of each competition to remind
everyone, themselves included, that they are part of a
brave tradition
๏ the goal is to compete with their whole effort and to
exhibit bravery by pushing themselves to ever greater
heights.

9. It takes more than being a brilliant sports man or woman to become an Olympian
or Paralympian. Top class athletes try to live according to a set of beliefs and
ideas that help them to be the best they can be, and to respect other
competitors. These are called the Olympic and Paralympic Values:
Olympic Values Paralympic Values
friendship determination
respect courage
excellence equality
inspiration
These Values can help all of us live as best we can, reaching our personal goals
and dreams without deliberately hurting other people.
