The Olympic & Paralympic Values

Here are some special words that can help you to get on well with other people and do all the things you really want to do.

Athletes at the Olympic and Paralympic Games use these words to help them too. Can you say the words? Some of them are quite hard, and have a lot of different letters and sounds in them. Can you write any of them? What do you think that they mean?

Olympic Values

  • friendship
  • respect
  • excellence

Paralympic Values

  • courage
  • determination
  • inspiration
  • equality

Can you keep them in your mind too?
