I teach 6th grade social studies and we are in the midst of our unit on Anicent Greece. What a better time to look at the Olympics?!?!!! Does anyone have any ideas or websites with materials on the Winter Olympics? I would appreciate any and all ideas. Thank you!

When I taught Ancient Greece, I always had a Greecian Olympics. I put the groups together and gave them information about how that city state would have behaved. They participated in a variety of games (toss paper balls into the trash, javiline-pencil throw). They were awarded medals made from paper. The city state with the most medals won the Olympics. I would suggest that you google it. I used a great site that had Mr. in the title.

I do a classroom version of the Olympics from Mr. Donn's website. I am looking for ideas on the Winter Olympics that is happening in February. I thought it would be a neat tie-in with our study of Greece as well as with Rome, since the Olympics will be in Italy.
