Workshop
History of the Olympics
Primary
New
The Olympic Games were started by the Greeks in 776BC to honour the god Zeus - so why do we still celebrate and compete today?
The Olympic Games is all about winning … right? Taking part in competitions can focus so much on the end goal, sometimes we forget the dedication and discipline that is needed for success in sports. This workshop uses drama activities to explore inspirational stories of resilience and sportsmanship, and encourages your class to explore the reasons why taking part in sports can be so rewarding (even if they don’t always win).
Your class will…
- Explore the benefits of taking part in sports.
- Examine key skills required for success in sport with a focus on raising aspiration
- Encourage an appreciation of the cultural significance of the Olympic Games
- Have a great day!
One Day Drama offers a full day workshop led by an experienced facilitator who collaborates with pupils to explore the topic, always focusing on content and learning. We offer the opportunity for an informal peer to peer sharing session, where the children can demonstrate what they have learnt throughout the day. This is an opportunity for children to take ownership of the experience, and can share their learning with peers or parents.
Tell us more about your classes knowledge of the topic in advance of the workshop so the content we deliver can hit the spot!
