Olympic idea

Hi,I'm also in Salt Lake City (wave to Julianne). This is something I actually did for the Sydney Olympics that my students really loved--we had a torch relay. I made a torch using brown butcher paper that was rolled | up in the shape of a cone, taped together, and stuffed with old newspaper. Then I stapled in some red, yellow, and orange strips of crepe paper which came out of the top of the torch to represent the fire. We discussed what a relay was and I positioned my students around the field. They loved having a chance to carry the torch and watch the "flames" fly out behind it. We had a raffle | |
drawing after the Olympics were over and the winner got to take the torch home.The websites that Julianne listed have several useful ideas for teaching about the Olympics, too. Joell
