Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    What is meant by fair play?

    Model answer

    Fair play is competing within the rules and spirit of a sport. Fair play means respecting opponents, officials and the result.

  2. 2

    What is sportsmanship?

    Model answer

    Sportsmanship is playing fairly, within the written and unwritten rules. A sporting performer shows respect and generosity to opponents.

  3. 3

    What is gamesmanship?

    Give an example of gamesmanship in cricket.
