The opening ceremonies have begun and it may be midnight before Ben gets to sleep. He is loving watching the Parade of Nations. I’m working right now (I work from our home office) and he keeps coming in to report how many athletes are representing a given country. He’s also really enjoying the flags for some reason. Comments like “that one’s cool” or “look at thsoe colors” or “I bet they’re under British control” keep spewing from his mouth. (Canada has 450 athletes, in case you are wondering)
We checked out a few books from the library about the Olympics, for our book basket time. Here are a few titles for you to enjoy:
Ancient Greece and the Olympics (Magic Tree House Research Guide)
Also you’ll find a free Olympics Unit Study with Lapbook from HomeschoolShare. And here is another free Olympics unit with some fun activities, from SchoolExpress. You can also find lots of printable resources at Enchanted Learning as well.
And lastly if you really would like to see the Women’s Sabre Fencing competition, but it’s on at 3am, you should be excited to know that you can watch the Olympics online, at your convenience, here.
That should be enough to get you started. Check back in a few days and I will have added a few more resources as we delve deeper into the 2008 Summer Olympics ourselves!
