Looking for a way to celebrate the amazing sporting achievements of First Nations Australians during NAIDOC Week? Our First Nations Australians in Sports Foldable Fact File will allow your students to explore the lives of some of Australia’s most famous sports stars. To complete this task, students will read and sort facts related to each sportsperson’s name, people, date of birth, sport and achievements. Alternatively, students can use a blank template to research another First Nations Australian sportsperson. In addition to the blank template, this purposeful resource includes templates and facts for:

1. Ashleigh ‘Ash’ Barty
2. Adam Goodes
3. Catherine ‘Cathy’ Freeman
4. Anthony Mundine

Once students have finished adding facts to their fact file, they can accordion fold the page and attach it to the cut-out cover. Have your students add drawings, symbols and colours that reflect the life and achievements of the First Nations Australian that their fact file is based on! We recommend printing the covers on thick card for durability. You may wish to enlarge the resource to A3 to provide additional room for students who will be adding drawings and writing to the templates. Check out more of our amazing NAIDOC Week resources:
