Ancient Olympic Games

Hello everyone today I finished my ancient Olympic games slideshow. So as one of the must-do activities. I ended up finishing it today in period 3. The must-do was to make a poster/slideshow of your own custom sport that would be introduced into the Olympics (680 BCE). So the sport I created was dodgeball with arrows. So obviously you would have to dodge the arrows to live or win the game. If you died then you would straight away lose and die. This is the slideshow hope you enjoy it!!

 

 

Ancient Olympic’s

Hello everyone, we just started learning about the Olympics today in social studies and we will be working on it for a while. The first topic we are focusing on right now is the ancient Olympics. Some of the sports used back then were: the long jump, discus, javelin, equestrian events, running events, boxing, wrestling, and pankration. The first-ever Olympics games were held in Athens Greece in 1896. They used to call it Olympia but now the latest name is the Olympics. Every country can participate in the events now. Back then 14 nations participated and now 206 nations compete. That’s all the information for today, thank you.
