Spectator Guides
These compact packs of cards are the essential companions to any sporting event. If you don't know your Kierin from your Madison, or the difference between Artistic, Rhythmic, Acrobatic and Aerobic gymnastics, or if you want to impress your friends with facts and statistics, you need a pack of these brilliant, fact-filled cards!
Each card shows the rules and objectives of the sport, techniques and equipment, and sporting records and facts.
See all Spectator Guides.
Gym Stars
Tara loves gym but when she joins Silverdale Gym Club she realises that it isn't all fun and games. She has to juggle her gymnastics with friendships and schoolwork, and when she makes it through to a national competition, discovers just how focussed she needs to be to achieve her goals. Gym Stars is a new series about the dedication, perspiration and inspiration required to be an athlete.
Beth Tweddle, now a World Champion Gymnast and Olympic bronze medal winner, used to be just like Tara – gym-mad! Read a message from Beth to readers of Gym Stars.

Flags of the world
At every international sporting event, athletes are proud to compete for their countries. But can you tell which country they are from by their flag? If not, test your knowledge with the Flags of the world Spotter's Guide, the Flags of the world sticker book or the pocket-sized Flags of the world Spotter's Cards.

"Brilliantly illustrated with a really generous number of detailed dressing-up stickers that are not only fun to use but also teach your child a little about each sport."
