Paralympic Games Assembly, linked to values. Suitable for Primary and Secondary. Fully animated with links in 'Notes' section for assembly giver.

10 slides in total, referencing the Beijing 2008 Paralympic Games, the London 2012 Paralympic Games and the Rio 2016 Paralympic games. Easily adapted if required.

The assembly begins by asking students to draw link between seven images - the official Paralympic mascots and logos for each of the games listed above, and the official logo for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic games.

Slide 2 explains who each of the mascots are to students, and asks students to consider which values each of these mascots have been designed to represent and how the artist has achieved this. With older year groups, students could be invited to reflect on a wider ranger of issues - do these mascots achieve their aims? If not, why not? Who are the mascots designed to appeal to and why? How could they be more effective if students consider that they are not currently?

A little more information is then given about each mascot and the values they were designed to exemplify.

Slides 3 and 4 link to Channel 4 Rio 2016 Paralympic Games trailer and ask students to consider which qualities they see represented in the trailer. Trailer is signed and subtitled.

Slides 5 - 9 feature two embedded videos and questions / discussion points for interviews with Matt Stuzman (Team USA Archery, also known as the 'Armless Archer'), and an interview with Ibrahim Hamato (Team Egypt Table Tennis, the competitor that plays with his mouth).

Slide 10 asks students what they can learn from assembly, whether they have been inspired in any way, and how they may incorporate one or more of the values they have seen embodied in clips into their days.
