Grades K-8 Olympics/International Competition Lesson

Older kids would be more responsible for the research and could do much more of a study. While at the K level we’ll just read a book or two or find out some fun facts, at a higher level they could study imports and exports, history, traditions, society, culture and so on.

Watch the opening ceremonies and pick 2-4 countries for further study which will include:

• finding it on the globe
• reading a book about the country
• finding a website about the country
• a worksheet/coloring page related to the country
• looking at the country’s flag
• looking the country up in the kid’s almanac

Variation:
Cooking some traditional dishes from that country would be fun too.
