Students can track the animal population over a period of years. Teacher and students compile a list of findings. Students choose 3-4 sports to focus on. Teacher provides cloze sentences and word bank to facilitate discussion of the different aspects of sports such as equipment, number of players, season, cities involved, etc. Teacher teaches one sport or active game that students can play.
Students plan a field day revolving around the activities they have learned.
They could include a schedule of sports, places to participate, team colors, team names, medals, etc. Students could plan a cultural Olympiad in a more broad sense i.e. including songs, dances and culturally authentic activities that are not necessarily sports. This could turn into a cultural festival that could be a fund raiser for the school, PTA, or foreign language department. These activities could also be incorporated into the school's regular field day. All Rights Reserved.
