The increasing number of unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, red cards, and ejections from games points out the need for activities that help young people recognize behaviors that exemplify good sportsmanship. For homework, class members watch a sporting event and chart how sportsmanship is portrayed. Then learners read several background articles and use an "Applauding Sportsmanship" handout to help them develop an activity that promotes good sportsmanship.
