The Olympics and Paralympics are about much more than winning. Of course, I believe that all sports are about much more than winning. The Olympic and Paralympic values are great character education lessons for both children and adults. So, what are the Olympic and Paralympic values?

What are the Olympic and Paralympic Values

 

Core Olympic Values

There are basically seven Olympic and Paralympic values. Sometimes they’re shown together, but I’ve most often seen them shown separately. I’d prefer them together. Where character education is concerned, they’re all essential.

But, since they’re typically shown separately, here are the three core Olympic values:

  1. Excellence
  2. Friendship
  3. Respect

Here are some helpful videos about Olympic values:

Living the Olympic Values

For lots of Olympics inspiration, check out the Olympics channel on YouTube!

Paralympic Values

These are some of my very favorite sports values:

  1. Determination
  2. Courage
  3. Equality
  4. Inspiration

And here’s a video about the Olympic and Paralympic values:

Olympic Humor

I’m a Mr. Bean fan, so I have to share a bit of Olympic humor from the 2012 Olympics. This looks like the opposite of the Olympic and Paralympic values!

    Lovely! I do think that, of course, the Olympic values also apply – in addition – to the Paralympic values – and vice versa!!
    Thanks for the great post.
