THE OLYMPIC GAMES: FRESNO 2020

Hello super champions!!! How are you feeling today? We hope you are full of energy and ready to practise some sports and learn about an important event: The Olympic Games!!!

• The Olympic Games are celebrated every 4 years, this year 2020 was Tokyo's turn to host the games. They have now been postponed to next year 2021. 
• There are Summer and Winter Olympics and the sports played in each are different. 
• The five colors of the Olympic rings (blue, black, green, yellow and red) were chosen because every country in the world has at least one of those colors in their flag. The rings represent 5 of the world's continents🌎: Africa, Asia, Oceania, Europe and America, linked together in friendship.
• At the beginning of the games a flame🔥 is lit in the opening ceremony. The flame begins in Olympia (Greece) and is passed from torch to torch until the location of the games is reached.
• Men and women from all over the world compete to win the gold🥇, silver 🥈 and bronze 🥉 medals.
• There is usually an Olympic mascot that represents the games and the country they are celebrated in. When the Olympic Games were celebrated in Barcelona in 1992 we had an olympic mascot named Cobi.

Some of the activities you can do related to the Olympic Games are the following:

• Colouring any of these olympic themed pictures:

• Some arts and crafts with the olympic symbols:

• Counting and adding to revise numbers:

*Para estas worksheets necesitáis tener unos dados para jugar. La de las medallas es para identificar y decir el número que sale en el dado y la de los aros se juega con dos dados haciendo la suma entre los dos números que salen. Para repasar la suma diríamos por ejemplo: (4 + 5 = 9) four plus five equals 9 nine.

• Play memory with these sports cards:

• Imagine you are an olympic athlete and you will compete next year in Tokyo 2021, draw and write about your flag, your event or sport and what would you do to celebrate your win:
