      Introduction

      This book contains cross-curricula activities for a study of the Olympic games for students

      K – 6. Some relate to developing research skills, others are complementary to the study of the Olympic games 2020.

      The activities are arranged under curriculum area headings and no grading of the activities is given. As teachers, you know best which activities will work with your students based on their experience, skills, and learning styles.

      Many of the activities require students to undertake their own inquiry. The authors believe that from an early stage, students can be equipped with the abilities and skills to ask questions that will focus their inquiry, to gather and record information, and to identify and compare relevant information. Students can be shown that information can be gained from a variety of information sources. Once information sources are chosen students can be shown how to make notes and then use these notes to make a report. Their reports can then be presented to an audience in a variety of ways.
