Sonic Skills: Set for Success

Created in partnership with Youth Sport Trust, Sonic Skills: Set for Success
is a PE-led resource for teachers of young people aged 9-13, inspired by
new film Sonic the Hedgehog, in cinemas 14 February 2020. Using the
trailer as its inspiration, the learning sequence gives pupils the opportunity
to explore the benefits of mindfulness and physical activity on our overall
wellbeing. Alongside this, an assembly targeted at 11-13 year olds is also
included focusing on wellbeing techniques inspired the character of Sonic
the Hedgehog.

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 Sonic the Hedgehog. Using the results of their exercises, pupils will
examine and present their data 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
exciting prizes.

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.
