Editor's Notes
- This project is based on a similar project around the world cup and could be adapted to many sporting events.
- This is one of the many ‘unofficial’ logos – it is very hard to get copyright permission to use the ‘real’ logo, which is also somewhat controversial – see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Summer_Olympics
- How many can the children work out? How will they work out the ones they cannot guess? (elicit their suggestions for bilingual dictionaries, internet, mobile translation etc.) Why do they think some of these words are in red and others in blue? Answer = gender of the noun; some are masculine words and some are feminine words, this is nothing to do with the gender of the people playing the sport so it needs to be discussed to make sure everyone understands. Point out we are just as ‘odd’ in English with some sports being singular (football – also referred to as the beautiful sport) and others plural (gymnastiques)
- You can find the full details, including which sports are played at the para-olympic games at http://projectbritain.com/olympics/sports.html
- Can the children identify these continents? What do they notice, if anything about the colour coding (ANSWER: It’s the same as the olympic rings) See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Olympic_Committee for details of the countries involved See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_symbols for details of the design and significance of the olympic rings logo
