Guest Post - Learning about the Olympics
It seems like with everything going on at the moment there is just not that same level of excitement about the Olympics like there usually is, so I thought it might be fun to spend a little bit of time looking at where the Olympics originated.
Nike Poster
Nike, Goddess of Victory is one of the emblems of the Olympic games. Our printable poster will look great as part of an Olympic themed classroom display.
Olympic Games Activities Sheet
There are all sorts of Olympic-themed activities suggested on this fun sheet, with enough to keep the kids going right through the 3 weeks of the games.
Olympic Medal Lacing Card
You can make this Olymic medal lacing card easier for younger children by simply punching the holes around the edge of the gold medal. Older children can include the ribbon too.
Olympic Medals Cutting Practice
Children can practise their cutting skills by cutting out the gold, silver and bronze Olympic medals on these printable sheets. There are two versions of each medal: with dotted cutting guidelines, and without (for an extra challenge).
Olympic Torch Lacing Card
Print our Olympic torch lacing card out onto card and cut out, laminate and punch holes evenly around the edges for your child to lace. I think it would look good laced with red or orange wool!
Olympic Torch Poster
Our Olympic torch poster comes in two versions - one with label and one without. We've kept it nice and simple for display or for cutting out (although if you cut it out you'll lose a few flames in the process!)
Olympic Wreath Poster
The ivy wreath was one of the main symbols of the Ancient Olympic Games. This simple poster is useful for display, or perhaps for a project folder. Pick from two versions - one labelled and one blank.
Olympics Game Cards
Here's a game card set with a difference - each card has an Olympic Games theme! Use for memory games, matching games and for mini flash cards too...
