The Olympic Games are held every four years in a different chosen host country. There is a Torch Relay that carries the Olympic Flame from Olympia in Greece to the host country where the cauldron is lit up by the flame.
There is then an opening ceremony and then a big celebration and parade of nations. The Olympic Games went for sixteen days while people from participating countries competed in many different sports. When competing placed athletes are awarded medals:
- First place gets a gold medal, second place gets a silver medal and third place gets a bronze medal.
At Compass we made an Olympic Torch and had our own Torch Relay. We then had a celebration with music and dancing in the Dojo as our own Opening Ceremony. We played games representing some of the Olympic sports in Recreation Training like soccer, gymnastics, running, basketball and volleyball.
We learned about flags of each country and we tried food from different countries as well.
