Winter Olympic Stations

Students celebrate 4 Winter Olympic events: Curling - Students take turns pushing each other to see which team gets the closest scooter to the target. Ice Dancing - Students create routines with partners or small groups while skating on carpet squares. Skeleton - Two students at a time race across the gym while lying prone on 2 connected scooters. We use a round robin tournament format to determine the racing order. When not racing, other group members act as starters and finish-line judges. Hockey - Students take turns shooting pucks at 2 sides of a box hockey box. Students keep shooting the same puck until it goes through an opening in the goal. Then, they get a new puck to shoot.

Great lesson! I did my Winter Olympics that looked a lot like yours! I used the scooters for bobsled, skeleton, luge and curling. I use the stacked box mats and the crash mat for "freestyle skiing" and I used cheap work gloves on top of their tennis shoes for speed skates and did "short track"around a track of cones. Lastly, we did cross country style skiing on buddy walkers. The kids LOVE Winter Olympics in the gym!

Jenny . . . I had not thought about the freestyle skiing - great idea! I have made my own buddy walkers with 1"x5" boards. I attached carpet strips to the bottoms to make them slide on the gym floor.
