Olympics - KS2

Download this 18-slide PowerPoint about the Olympic games. Find out how the modern games were first introduced by Baron Pierre de Coubertin in 1896 and how he wanted countries to compete together in Olympic games which had no political issues spoiling them and he wanted all the people who entered to take part fairly, not just to win. Learn about the five colours of the Olympic rings, about the Olympic motto and how sometimes the games have been affected by wider political situations in the world. A great time-saving resource for key stage 2.
