olympics
By Cheryl

Clip to ScrapBook   
AIMS has great activities called "Mini Metric Olympics". I use it every time there is an Olympics - summer or winter. Included are the paper plate discus, straw javelin throw, left handed sponge squeeze, right handed marble grab, cotton ball toss, and big foot (trace foot on centimeter paper) and figure out sq cm. THere are medals (paper). I create a bulletin board and put pictures of the medal winners (sometimes as many as 5 so everyone gets on the board). Kids love it. We also used it as a center during Family Math night. Look on the AIMS website. I think the activities date back to '86.
