Have you ever cheated anyone to win a game? If yes, how did you feel afterwards?
Could you gather courage to confess your fault to the person concerned? Share your
experience, feelings and thoughts in the class.
Expected Answer:1. No, I have never cheated anyone so far but in case if I happen to do so, I
would really go and confess my guilt in front of that person whom I have cheated.
2. Yes, I remember that once I had cheated my friend while we were giving our names to
our P.T. teacher after the running race was over. In fact, I had come second in the race but I
went ahead of my friend and told our teacher that I came first. Initially, I was very
apprehensive and scared to confess my fault in front of my friend but when I found that my
friend had not changed his behaviour towards me, I started feeling guilty about my act and
gathered courage to apologise for my mistake.

A.15. Value based question

What does the word ‘Sportsmanship’ mean to you? Is it important to win every game
you play or is fair participation enough? Discuss in the class.
Expected answer: “Sportsmanship” means playing the game in a fair manner and enjoying
the game and also having due regards for one another. Winning every game is not important
all the time, however the thing that matters the most is the fair play and your 100%
dedication, i.e. hard work. Even if you lose, you will be proud to see that you were very true
and pure in your efforts.
