Special Olympics Australia’s Activity Cards help teachers and coaches improve the delivery of sport and physical activity for students with an intellectual disability. Our Activity Cards are for all school-aged students (and all other sports participants) with extra tips and advice on how best to engage a range of abilities. Special Olympics Australia has based the Activity Cards on the Playing for Life philosophy. The Playing for Life philosophy is a ‘game sense’ approach to coaching which provides opportunities for students to learn and develop skills through games rather than drills. The cards are flexible, adaptable and designed for use in a variety of school settings to increase the amount of daily physical activity for your students. Activity Cards include activity for six game categories:

Warm up Games
Net and Court Games
Striking and Fielding Games
Invasion Games
Target Games
Movement Games
