Overview:
In this activity pupils will consider how fairness relates to rules. They will think about this
through sport, and specifically the rules of football. The rules of football try to make it fair. But
some people are more able to access football than others. They explore how they could make
rules to make the game even fairer, before coming up with their own rule to play a Fairer
World Cup tournament. This links to ideas about how rules in society make society farier, and
how this links to their learning in the rest of the scheme. These questions can be used to link
PE to other subject areas.
Learning Objectives:
Pupils consider how rules can make
games fairer or less fair for everyone
to play.
To decide how to change rules in
football to ensure everyone can
participate.
To compare rules in sport to rules in
society which help make society
fairer?
Learning Outcomes:
To organise and run a Fairer World
Cup football tournament in school,
which enables all pupils to fully
participate.
