Chapter 12: Sports and Inclusivity
"Sports and Inclusivity" opens the unit Sports for All, at about eight pages. Students are likely to explore what it means for sport to be open to everyone, regardless of gender, ability, background or place, and how games can be adapted so all can take part. It links with the inclusive approach of the whole series. Discussion, examples from schools and communities and a task to adapt a game inclusively make the idea practical.
This is chapter 12 of 23 in Khel Praveen, the Class 9 Physical Education and Well Being textbook, in the Sports for All section, and begins on page 96 of the printed 2026-27 book. It follows "The Modern Olympic Games" and is followed by "Sports and Disability".
Understanding and activity go together in "Sports and Inclusivity". The book asks students to appreciate the history, ethics and science behind the games they play as well as to practise them, and to discuss, research and reflect. Safe practice, inclusion and fair play are stressed. The chapter works well with short projects, discussion, demonstration and a connection to the student's own activity.
After "Sports and Inclusivity", ask your student what they found interesting and what they would change in their own routine. Conversations like this extend the classroom discussion to the home. Make sure students drink water, rest properly and wear suitable clothing.
