Use this worksheet to think about organising a sport for truce event on peace day. Read the ‘Getting Started’ section first to think about what needs to be done and what you want to achieve! You might like to establish an Action Committee using Resource K.
You’ll need to think about all the elements of your Sport for truce event. What needs to be done?
• Is it a team sport? How many teams will be involved?
• Is it one game or a mini-tournament? • Are the teams made up of players from your class or are you looking for volunteers from the whole school?
• If your school has a “house” system, perhaps each house puts a team forward.
• Teams could train in PE classes or at a sports club. Do you need to organise a separate training programme? Who will organise it?
• Invite local Olympians or professional athletes to help with training. Who will contact them?
• Do you want to organise a game or mini- Olympics with another school?
• Who will be captain of each team? • Each team needs a name. Ideas could be voted on by the class, house, or team. Perhaps each team could take on the name of a national team.
• Are there local sports grounds that may wish to host a game or tournament? Who will contact them?
• Would the science department like to run a sports science/nutrition class?
• Who will put together promotional materials, posters, press releases, school magazine articles, etc.? Promotional materials need to explain the reason behind Sports for Truce, i.e., Peace Day, 21 September Peace Day and Global Truce 2012.
• Can you make an announcement in assembly to help build interest?
• Who will contact local press? What about using a blog or social media?
• Talk to your teacher about inviting parents and people from the local community to the event.
• Who will referee/umpire/judge? • Who will write the speech for the opening ceremony? Who will read it out? Head Teacher?
• Will the teams wear special tops to raise awareness of Peace Day and the Global Truce? They could be designed in school.
• Do you want to make medals for everyone involved? Who will make them?
• Is the winning team/individual awarded a trophy? A local sports shop may like to donate one in return for some publicity.
• Will there be a medal/trophy ceremony? Can you build a podium?
• Who will organise refreshments for the participants and how will they be paid for?
• Do you want to find cheerleaders? • Find a match photographer. • Find someone to film the match. Where can you find the camera?
• Will there be refreshments on sale for the spectators? Perhaps these could help pay for any expenses.
• Use Resource L, Commitment Countdown Diary, to record your ideas and tasks.
