Lesson 3:
The Olympic Games
Project 1: Work in groups. Make small posters with pictures of ten Olympic sports. You can use photos from magazines or draw your own pictures. Write the name of the sport under its picture. Try to find names of athletes who are famous for doing these sports. You can find information in books or on the website of the Olympic Games, www.olympic.org , and you can download booklets with photos and information from the site of the Olympic Studies project of the Ministry of Education (Πρόγραμμα Oλυμπιακής Παιδείας, YΠΕΠΘ) at http://olympiakipaideia.instore.gr/index_gr.htm.

What do you know about these sports? Find information about them and write it in your poster. You can write about the number of the players, the country where this sport is popular, what you need to play it.
Project 2: Work in groups. Look in your History book and see if there are Olympic sports in Ancient Greece that are Olympic sports of today. Find information on how Ancient Greeks did these sports and talk about the differences between then and now. You can visit the site about the Olympic Games of the Ministry of Culture at http://odysseus.culture.gr/a/1/11/ga110.html, or that of the Foundation of the Hellenic World (Ίδρυμα Μείζονος Ελληνισμού) at http://olympics.ime.gr/.
You can ask your Physical Education teacher to organize 'School Olympic Games'. Maybe you can be a gold, silver or bronze medallist!
