Οι Ολυμπιακοί Αγώνες στην Αρχαία Ελλάδα
Οι Ολυμπιακοί Αγώνες είναι στη σύγχρονη εποχή η σημαντικότερη αθλητική εκδήλωση στον κόσμο. Οι πρώτοι Ολυμπιακοί άρχισαν να διεξάγονται πριν από τρεις χιλιάδες χρόνια στην αρχαία Ελλάδα και εάν δεν είχαν καθιερωθεί τότε δε θα υπήρχε η σύγχρονη μορφή τους. Οι αρχαίοι Έλληνες φημίζονταν για το ανταγωνιστικό πνεύμα τους. Αθλητές από όλη την ελληνική επικράτεια συγκεντρώνονταν κάθε τέσσερα χρόνια στην Ολυμπία για να λάβουν μέρος στους αγώνες και στις θρησκευτικές εορτές. Στο βιβλίο αυτό περιγράφονται οι πέντε ημέρες των αρχαίων Ολυμπιακών: οι αθλητές και η προπόνησή τους, τα αγωνίσματα στα οποία συναγωνίζονταν (άλλα μοιάζουν πολύ με τα σημερινά, ενώ άλλα διαφέρουν αρκετά), οι θρησκευτικές τελετές και τα συμπόσια. Επίσης, το βιβλίο αποτελεί έναν οδηγό στα θαυμάσια μνημεία της αρχαίας Ολυμπίας και προσφέρει μια εικόνα των αγωνισμάτων από την πλευρά των αθλητών.

1. Genre- Non-Fiction
2. Awards- None
3. Grade Level- K-2
4. This is a great book to introduce the Olympics to a classroom. The book presents information on the Ancient Olympics process in a very informative, yet easy to understand way. As a follow-up activity, I would have my own classroom Olympics. The students will be divided into the city-states of Greece who will then compete for first, second, and third place in the Olympics. They will each have to design a flag. I will have a series of games for the students to play. It would be over a 5 day period, similar to the schedule the ancient olympics was on. At the end, there will be an award ceremony and a closing ceremony. This is a good book to use with this activity because it explains how the olympics were started and the process the ancient games had. This activity allows the students to take what we learned about in the book and to put a modern spin on the material, while still getting a grasp on the ancient tradition.

Grade: 4-6
Genre: non-fiction
Award(s):none
This book shows the students where the original Olympics began and how they played their games. I would use this book as a creative drama activity. I would have the students pay close attention to the events that went on. This way when we went outside for the activity they would know how each event went. I would call out an event and ask the students to show me how it looks when being played. I would also through out some fun facts once we got back in the classroom that they learned while listening to the story (e.g. Did women participate in any of the sports? Was there sports for handicapped people?, etc.)
