We’ve made our Olympics topic free for July and August and we want to help you get the most out of it.
One way of ensuring you do is to use the Activities within the topic. Make sure to download the Teacher Activity Keys to check out some answers before your students get to work.
Using the Olympics Activity Sheets:
1. Help your class get a better grasp of the key words and vocabulary used in the movie by printing off the vocabulary sheet from the Activities. Students can fill them in individually as they watch the movie.
Top tip! Pause the movie to give them time to take notes.

2. Use the Who, What, Where, When, Why and How [5 Ws + H] chart for group discussion after watching the movie.

3. Have students work in pairs to conduct further research:

And the gold medal goes to…Tim and Moby!
We’ve freshly updated our Olympics movie for 2012, which comes complete with a POPquiz, FYI, and Activities, and we’ve made it free for July and August.
In the movie, Tim and Moby introduce you to the history and traditions of the Olympic Games and talk about the start of the modern games. You’ll learn how and where the Olympics began, including what the first event was, and what the winner took home (hint: it wasn’t a gold medal)!
You’ll discover why the games were abolished for a time, when and why they were revived, and when women were first allowed to participate.
See how the Olympics promote peace and harmony among nations, and learn just what those rings on the flag symbolise.
You’ll also learn about origin of the Olympic torch and its world journey to a new host-city every four years.
Now, where is it headed for this year again? It must have slipped our minds
