Commonwealth Games Glasgow 2026

The Commonwealth Games 2026 is not just a sporting event, it is a chance for people from around the world to come together, celebrate their cultures, and learn from each other. This summer the Commonwealth Games returns to Glasgow in Scotland, and this is your invitation to take part! 

Coming soon! The Commonwealth Games Classroom Resource will be available from April 2026. Be among the first to hear.

Sign up to our Schools newsletter 

Produced by the British Council in collaboration with the Youth Sport Trust, it is designed to celebrate the Commonwealth Games of 2026 and the work that the Commonwealth is doing to improve the lives of its citizens. The resource contains a series of learning activities and supporting resources that teachers can use to raise awareness of the Commonwealth and its values, and help young people feel connected to the Games, their local community, country, and the Commonwealth. 

Pupils will be introduced to the Commonwealth Games’ values of Humanity, Destiny and Equality through sessions exploring issues such as making connections, promoting gender equality, fair play and inclusion.

Activities are designed for pupils aged between 7 and 11 but are flexible and adaptable. They can be used as starting points for individual lessons, or form part of a larger cross-curricular project with a partner school overseas. If you don't yet have a partner school in another country, why not visit our PartnerFinder database, sign up for free and search for like-minded schools around the world.
