Olympic Games 2024 Creative Thinking Tasks | Sport-Themed | Grades 3-6

Get 42 thinking tasks all to do with the Olympic Sports. This Blooms/Gardners grid has been created to encourage creative and critical thinking about the world event of the Olympic Games. Use as individual lessons, literacy rotation tasks or fast-finishing activities.

This pack also includes a sport-themed version to use ANY YEAR with ANY SPORT.

We have included each activity on the grid as task cards too in order to assist you in using these activities in various ways within your classroom.

Differentiation:

This pack is designed to accommodate a range of learners and learning styles in the classroom. The grid and tasks increase in difficulty. We advise you to encourage particular students to work on tasks that are at their level (the task cards may be handy for this, too). Activities also range from completely individual tasks to tasks that students can work on in streamed OR mixed ability pairs or triads.

How this pack works:

Personally, we love using matrix style activities such as these in my classroom. I feel it allows for students to learn about their personal learning styles and how they like to learn best. It also involves student choice and voice, which is so important in the 21st century classroom. When starting a grid such as this, I like to spend time talking about each task and my expectations. Then we may start on an activity as a whole group or students may go ahead and choose activities according to where their learning needs and wants are. The best part is that it involves flexible learning where the children often get very enthusiastic, excited and engrossed in what they are doing.

No further teacher prep needed, simply print and use!

We hope you and your students enjoy these resources!
