Een stap-voor-stap handleiding om het spel te spelen

Assemble the participants in a circle and inquire about their knowledge of the Paralympic games. Allow someone to explain if they are familiar with it, or provide an explanation yourself if no one is familiar. Emphasise that individuals with disabilities have the right to live a fulfilling life in society, including participating in sports.

Announce the start of the annual Paralympics and inform the players that they will form their own teams by playing different games while experiencing a "disability".

Play several games (see additional game information) and let the players in each game draw cards to determine the disability they will have while playing the game.

After completing the games, gather the players in a circle and engage in a discussion about their experiences (see additional game info).

Debriefing and evaluation

Explain that everyone has the right to develop, which is why Paralympics are important because they are adapted to the strengths of people with certain disabilities. This way, they too can develop in top-level sport.

Establish stereotypes based on disability using questions such as:

What did you think of people with disabilities before this competition?
What do you think after this competition?
How do you think people with disabilities want to be treated? Think of a disability, for example someone in a wheelchair. Then think about your school, your neighbourhood, ... What facilities do they have for people with disabilities? For example, a lift, a ramp to enter a shop.
Do you tend to think that people with disabilities always want or need your help?

Tips for the facilitator

Balance the discussion about people with disabilities' need for help with an affirmation of their ability to do many things themselves.
Emphasise that people with disabilities have the same basic needs and rights as everyone else.
