Would you have the courage to…? You can either ask questions of the whole group and ask them to call out their answers, or you can ask the person next to you and ask them to ask the person next to them and so on round the group. Feel free to add your own statements and to make them as gross or outrageous as you like! WOULD YOU HAVE THE COURAGE TO: Pick your nose in public? Climb Mount Everest? Eat frog’s legs? Do a bungee jump from Big Ben? Run a marathon? Eat sheep’s eyeballs? Stand up to a policeman/teacher? Swallow a live maggot? Eat snails? Tell someone you were being bullied? Be a bomb disposal expert? Kill a seriously wounded animal? Stroke a snake? Hold a tarantula? Eat alligator? Join a demonstration or protest? Stand up for yourself? Tell someone you love them?
Discussion Points PRINT THEM OFF! STICK THEM UP! GET PEOPLE TALKING! Need more ideas? Use the ‘Know Your Values’ quiz (see online resources) to kick start some great conversations
Discussion Points Would you risk losing friends or becoming unpopular because you believed in something that your friends didn’t? Is peer pressure a strong influence in your life? Do you think it would be difficult to go against peer pressure? What sports men and women show real determination to achieve their goals? And which ones have the courage to stand up for what they think is right?
Discussion Points What do you think ‘physical courage’ might be? What about ‘moral courage’? Winston Churchill once said “Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen” Do you agree with him?
Light Bite Activities – Determination & Courage Which 3 sports people inspire you with their determination & courage? Share with the group your favourite story about someone showing determination & courage Stand up for what’s right: listen to the statements & if you agree stand up – be prepared to stand up for your views!
Ideas for ‘What’s Right’ Activity • Young people should be able to vote at 16 • Young people should be able to wear what they like to school • Young people need to wear brands to show how important they are • Young people need to be able to defend themselves • All young people are different but equal • If young people are determined to do something, they’ll succeed • Young people should be able to do what they want when they want LEADER’S NOTE: Be prepared to challenge young people about their beliefs – this activity is all about having the courage and determination to stand up for what you believe in even if it may not be popular or what the majority think!

Aimee Mullins Aimee Mullins is a model, actress and world record holding athlete, despite being born with no bones in her legs below the knees (fibula). Aimee had her legs amputated below the knee on her fist birthday. Facing life in a wheelchair she quickly learnt to walk with prosthetic legs and became active in a variety of sports including skiing. She won triple gold at the 1996 Paralympics in Atlanta, USA breaking 3 world records in the process. Since retiring from sport she has become a successful model and actress. In 1999 she modelled for Alexander McQueen in a pair of beautiful brown boots. It was only the next day that people realised they were intricately carved wooden legs. She has also played a cheetah woman on film and starred in TV adverts. Aimee has won many awards and is regularly voted one of the most beautiful women in the world. She told Oprah Winfrey “Confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can have. It's much sexier than any body part”.
