Let the Games Begin!

Submitted by corallee.findlay on

During the month of December Mrs. Bushman's class studied about the ancient Greeks.  On Thursday and Friday, December 13 and 14th students participated in a 6th grade version of the Olympic Games.  Each group of 4 students were assigned a Greek city-state.  They created a flag and a group cheer to support each other in the athletic events. The events were "Thumb Wars", an RPS (rock-paper-scissors) competition, javelin throwing (plastic straws), discus toss, and a chariot race.   An opening ceremony and preliminary rounds were held on Thursday.
