Your taking school children on an excursion to the Paralympic games ?

Question

you have time to see 5 different sports. You want them to gain a general understanding of disability and ability.

What ones would you chose

Answer 1

I would choose any of the racing events especially the wheelchair participants.  The Amputee throwing events are great too wheelchair based power lifting is amazing to watch.  really I would just choose a good healthy mix of many different events or maybe even try the same event in each base category, that one might be better cause it would give the students a basis for comparison of how each disability group had to modify to achieve the world class level of competition.

Answer 2

Archery

Goalball

Judo

Wheelchair Rugby

Ice Sledge Hockey  

Answer 3

swimming because you see every disability repersented and there different abilities

goalball a great "blind only" sport where they get to see how people who can't see can use there other sinces and play a really fun and rough game

wheelchair basketball one of the best and most popular sport to watch. its fast paced and everyone able bodied and disablied alike

and wheelchair racing- gives the a true respect for just how strong we are dispite of are challenges.

judo- because the kids would enjoy it

I would also make sure they get to see at least one medal cermony
