About this resource
Overview
The 10 activities in this educational program have been commissioned by the Melbourne Cricket Club on behalf of the National Sports Museum.
The National Sports Museum will provide rich learning opportunities for primary and secondary students in an exciting new context showcasing the importance of sport and sportsmanship for Australians.
Each activity includes detailed Teacher Notes and Student Worksheets which can be downloaded as PDF files. The activities have been mapped to the Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS), Levels 3–5.
This National Sports Museum educational resource is not just for sports fans. The activities focus on the richness sport has brought to our history, culture, identity and lifestyle. They emphasise interpersonal and disciplinary learning, and enable students to understand and appreciate the value and significance of sport in our society.
A key theme of the National Sports Museum is ‘moments that made us’. Enjoy the journey as you and your students discover some of those moments.
