The Theme of Olympics

We spent two weeks on the theme of Olympics. Our children created their own Olympic Flag, Torch Artwork, Gymnastic Artwork and Olympic Laurel Wreath Headband. And we had our own Egg and Spoon Relay, all our children took home a "Gold Medal".

I believe this is a good opportunity  to expand the children's vocabulary. We use flash cards and books to talk about all kinds of Olympic games. Our children learned to identify many kinds of Olympic games, from Running, Skiing, Wrestling, Cycling, Swimming, Diving to Gymnastics, Basketball, Hockey and Soccer (in Chinese). 

Most importantly, we learned the spirit of Olympics games " The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part " I was very happy to see all our children enjoyed participating in competitions and they handled it positively when they did not win in our little games. A wonderful opportunity to build the children's character.
