Winter Olympics

Are you excited about the Winter Olympics coming up this year? We’ve got a few activities planned to keep up with all the fun!

Stamping the Olympic rings with paper tubes and paint

Cut (or pin-punch) a torch and glue some colored tissue to make a flame

String beads to make the Olympic rings. Figuring out how to make the rings interlock is tricky!

I made these cards with descriptions of each of the 15 sport categories that athletes will be competing in this year. We will use these to introduce the unit and the sports. (Note: These printables are no longer available.)

Photo 3-Part Cards of each of the 15 sports. (Note: These printables are no longer available.)

Here’s a simpler matching activity with some of the winter sports. (Source: 2014 Winter Sports by Kidsparkz)

Sorting the sports. Is it a sledding, skiing or skating sport? Use the pictures from the 3-part cards for this activity. (Note: These printables are no longer available.)

Write a Sport Report. We will pick a few sports to follow and record which countries win medals for it. 3-Dinosaurs has some great writing papers that will go perfectly as an extension to this activity. (Source:3-Dinosaurs)
