Chapter 9: Olympic Values
"Olympic Values" opens the unit Olympism, at about six pages. The preface says the book draws on the values of the Olympic movement. Students are likely to learn the values commonly associated with it, such as excellence, friendship and respect, and how they apply to sport and daily life. It links with fair play and teamwork in earlier Physical Education books. Discussing examples of sportsmanship, and what these values mean for students, makes it personal.
This is chapter 9 of 23 in Khel Praveen, the Class 9 Physical Education and Well Being textbook, in the Olympism section, and begins on page 76 of the printed 2026-27 book. It follows "First Aid" and is followed by "The Ancient Olympic Games".
Understanding and activity go together in "Olympic Values". 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 "Olympic Values", 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.
