The exact question I have been asked is below:

I am running out of time to answer all I have been given, so any thoughts on this would be appreciated. I am guessing it focuses more on the ‘how’, as opposed to the ‘what’, would you agree?

2: Imagine that you have been asked by your Activity Coordinator to organise a sports tournament for a group of 60 students. How would you organise the event, taking into consideration equipment and health and safety issues?

    That’s a hard question to answer, when I don’t know any specifics. Age of kids, age range of kids. Reason for the event, camp, Crazy Days kid activity, Family Reunion.

    So my answer will have to be general.
    Think of sports as using many athletic activities, and find activities that all the different kids can shine in. So don’t make them all throwing events and try to think of non-competitive events too, that use your brain, heart or ability to get along with others and are FUN. For instance non-competitive Games are about fun and inclusiveness.

    precision toss: toss object into an exact spot: ring toss
    Long throw: toss a stick or ball the farthest

    Running:
    Long jump:
    50 yard dash:
    endurance: 300 meters, pogo stick
    endurance coordination: 300 meter relay:

    Teem sports: Speed ball. It’s like soccer but you are allowed to pick up the ball, and make three (long) steps, but you have to kick or toss the ball after.

    Give directions:
    Follow directions:
    close precision: drop a clothespin or penny in a bottle.
    coordination: dance, hop scotch, twirl a baton
    Balance: walk a rail or balance beam.
    Limber: do the limbo
    creativity: theatrics, impromptu act out a phrase like charades

    Every age group does not need to do each and every event.
    If the kids are all the same age, pick teams and one member from each team posts to an event. each member must do at least one event.
