The Winter Olympic games are about to begin and my class is ready to root for the USA! This year my class is overrun with boys and I knew these boys would LOVE to learn about the winter game sports.
My class first learned about the Olympic games by browsing this website:http://www.olympic.org/sports
It lists all the winter sports and when you click on one, it shows an awesome picture. I researched ahead of time enough to explain a little better about each sport and what kinds of equipment needed for a particular sport.
Visit our TPT store for the Olympic Sport writing freebie! :)
After learning about the sports, each had to write/draw about their favorite Olympic sport and justify their response.
The second part of our Olympic learning was about the Olympic flag. We learned about the significance of the rings and colors in the flag. See this link if you want to read about it:http://www.olympics.mu/meaning-olympic-rings.html
We made the Olympic symbol using toliet paper rolls dipped in paint.
