Develop research skills and explore the history of the Olympic Games with this worksheet pack.
Students must research each event and determine whether or not it will be included in the 2024 Games. This hands-on, cut-and-paste activity is perfect for independent and paired study.
In extension activities, students research specific sports, determining their history of inclusion in the Games and the countries that have historically done well or poorly in the event. Use the pre-filled template with four sports to research, or use the blank template to allow students to choose their own sports to research.
Top Teacher Tip: Try enlarging this activity to A3 and using it in small groups as a Silent Card Shuffle cold task! How many sports can your students successfully guess? This is a great hook for our Pitch a New Olympic Event persuasive writing task.
