Start with the symbol of the Olympics: the colored rings. What do these rings mean? What colors do they have? How are they placed together?
Ask some students to assume the position of an athlete, for example a skater or skier. Look at their posture: what is the position of their legs, arms and body?
What do you need?
- scissors
- glue
- white drawing paper A1 size
- cardboard in Olympic colors
- copy of athlete
- compasses
What should you do?
This is a group work for five students.
Take a big white sheet, cardboard in the colors of the Olympic rings and at least five copies of the athlete.
- Each group member cuts an Olympic ring, using compasses and scissors. Be sure all rings have to be the same size.
- Cut the ring in one place. Take a good look at which one should go forward and which should go behind it. Make sure the cut ends up under another ring so that you don't see it.
- Cut out the parts of the sports figure. Stick them in different sports positions around, behind, through and in front of the rings.
