Sports History Alive

The Sports History Alive series is a selection of 60 minute, in-class, and interactive programs, designed to bring Aurora’s rich athletic history alive for elementary students and educators.

The ASHoF Mandate is to:
– Help students (in aurora) celebrate the ways in which sport culture and heritage are passed on through generations
– Inspire students of all ages to be physically literate through educational activities corresponding to the inductees of the ASHoF

Student Participants of the Sports History Alive presentation will:
– Learn about the history of sport in Aurora
– Learn the story of an Aurora resident who played high level sport, and see some of the unique artifacts/photos affiliated with the sport of the featured athlete
– Participate in a physical activity related to the athlete’s sport

Educators involved in the Sports History Alive presentation will:
– Be provided with a curriculum linked (social studies and physical education) program overview and a rubric for easy assessment
– Be provided with a curriculum linked follow-up activity suggestion to deepen and extend the learning opportunity

The Sports History Alive program is:
– Free, interactive and physically active
– Delivered in your gym by professional presenters
– Supported by a multi-media infused power point that includes video & graphically interesting images to explore content
