In this project, you'll plan an Everybody Wins Olympics for children in kindergarten or first grade. Planning the Games With a partner or team, think of children in your school system or community who would enjoy an Everybody Wins Olympics. Next, brainstorm a list of games that will be fun for every child in the group. In your journal, make a chart like the one shown here. Record your ideas for as many kinds of games, abilities, and interests as possible.
Planning is especially important when working with very young children.
Think about how you'll divide children into groups and ways to show them how to play the games. Use these guidelines for giving oral directions. Tips for Giving Oral Directions Speak slowly. Look at the children. Stand in a relaxed position.
