Sonic Skills: Set for Success

Created in partnership with Youth Sport Trust, our Sonic Skills: Set for Success resource is a PE-led lesson sequence for teachers of young people aged 9-13, all inspired by the Sonic the Hedgehog film which speeds into UK cinemas February 14. Using the trailer as its inspiration, the learning sequence gives pupils the opportunity to explore the benefits of mindfulness and physical activity on their overall wellbeing.

Learners will take part in a range of simple mindfulness activities before creating a range of exercises inspired by the speed, enthusiasm and skills of the bright and brilliant protagonist, Sonic the Hedgehog. Using data recorded from their exercises, pupils will examine and present their findings in a chart before using line graphs as inspiration for their own Sonic Stories creative writing task.

The sequence culminates in a Super Sonic Speed competition to win £500 worth of sports equipment vouchers for your school, plus Sonic the Hedgehog goodies just for the winning entrant!

Each lesson is carefully structured with teachers in mind and features pupil-friendly activity sheets and engaging homework tasks. All supporting materials include curriculum outcomes suitable for all nations and regions.

The competition closes on 13 March 2020, terms and conditions apply. For more information on how to enter, download the resource documents below.
