I love the Olympics! Summer and Winter. I went to the the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and had the time of my life. I started planning soon after to go the the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia, but I became a mama twice in the 2 years that followed and travel plans overseas were not completed. But I love the games and watch as much as I can with my children.
I have been trying to put together a study unit that we can do together in school and wondered if anyone has any good ideas or links that you would like to share. Leaning on y'alls creative juices....

I haven't used any of those because Baby Boy is older and none of those are free; however we have watched some of the NBC Learn videos and they are really good and FREE unless you want lesson plans

I love the Olympics too! I'm so jealous that you've actually gone to them before. LUCKY!!!
Thx Mom #1. I liked the one from Currclick and think I will go with that one. The videos from NBC are cool. I cannot wait until Friday. I have my flag shirt and pins ready!
Peace
I love the Olympics. I remember with delight the winter Olympics when the American team won in hockey. I watched it with my father (my father died over 25 years ago). Our family watches as much of the Olympics as we can together. Go out and buy a cheap stop watch. We timed everything! Winners got special privilges like sleeping in for an extra 15 minutes or no dish duty for one night. I can't wait to hear what you guys come up with!
Be blessed!
