The Olympics through Time
You will be creating a scavenger hunt for your classmates based on the information
at the site below.
Write 10 questions for your classmates to answer about the history of the Olympics. Be sure your
questions cover all the categories - Prehistory, Antiquity and Revival. Look in the margin on the left
side of your screen for subtopics under each of these categories.
On a seperate sheet of paper, write down all the answers to your own questions. These will be needed to check the papers afterwards.
When all scavenger hunts are completed, everyone will switch papers and answer each others' questions.
