Greeks Workshop
Olympics
Step back in time to Ancient Greece and let your KS1 & KS2 pupils discover the origin of the Olympic Games. Closely tied to Greek mythology, beliefs and culture, we'll use drama to discover why the games started. Plus, how their legacy endures to this day.
Ancient Civilisations Workshop
Ancient Greeks
Pupils will embark on a drama-filled journey to ancient Greece to discover the History of the Olympics. The Olympic Games were started by the Greeks in 776 BC to honour the almighty king of the gods, Zeus. 776 BC?! That’s a seriously long time ago! So why do we still celebrate and compete today?
