In groups of four, select a role from 1–4 given below and speak about the views allotted to each. Use the prompts and vocabulary given. Take turns to express your opinions, agreement, and disagreement.
School Student: Talk about why you think Physical Education should be included in school activities.
Physical Education should be included in school activities because it promotes physical fitness, improves mental health, and helps students develop important life skills. In my opinion, regular physical activity improves concentration in studies and builds confidence. From my point of view, adventure activities like trekking and rope climbing are not just fun but also teach teamwork, resilience, and problem-solving skills that cannot be learned in a classroom.
Parent: Discuss your concerns or support for your child participating in Physical Education activities.
As a parent, I support my child participating in Physical Education activities because they provide unique experiences and help build confidence. However, I have some concerns about safety. One reason for this concern is that adventure sports can have risks if proper precautions are not taken. I would want to ensure that qualified instructors and safe equipment are always available.
Physical Education Teacher: Share your experiences about Physical Education activities and why you think they are valuable.
From my point of view, Physical Education activities are extremely valuable for students. I have seen students overcome fear, build confidence, and develop teamwork skills through adventure activities. I support this perspective because Physical Education teaches life skills that textbooks cannot—students learn to explore their limits, participate in challenging tasks, and develop a never-give-up attitude.
Sports Camp Organiser: Explain how you ensure safety and why you believe sports are beneficial for participants.
As a Sports Camp Organiser, safety is my top priority. We ensure safety through proper training, quality equipment, experienced instructors, and strict supervision. In my opinion, sports are beneficial because they are thrilling and enjoyable while teaching important values. Participants learn to overcome fear, build confidence, and develop teamwork. The unique experiences they gain help them grow as individuals.
