Olympic History Class Play (one of collection of 10 scripts) This assembly, written by Sue Russell, covers the history of the Olympics, starting with its origins in Ancient Greece. All the host nations are presented in a fun coverage of both events and stars.

Simply the Best - Tina Turner (Children file in, waving flags triumphantly) Coubertin: Good morning and welcome to our class play on The History of the Olympics - when nations compete against each other, in the most sporting manner. (19 nations stand up with flags, cheering loudly) (Zeus plus 3 Ancient Greeks stride onto stage, folding their arms in front of them, taking up an aggressive stance) Coubertin: ‘Course, it wasn't always like that. Back in 776 BC it was only athletes from across Ancient Greece who competed. Zeus: In my honor! Sostratos: 5 days Leonidas: 7 events Kallipateira: (Scowling) And no women! Coubertin: Ah! The good old days! When men were men, and women were women! Kallipateira: I thought you were here to represent the Modern Olympics? Coubertin: Indeed I am. And you're about to see just how many changes took place over the years Zeus: Not necessarily for the better! (Looking around) I can't see any of this lot paying me homage! And what are those women doing, mingling with the men athletes? Coubertin: (In disgust) They're competing too! Other scripts available: 1. Brazil - Host Country to 2016 Olympics 2.

Olympic Games 2016 Class Play - on all 28 sports! (One of 10 Olympic scripts written by Sue Russell) Cast of 30, approximate duration: 30 minutes. This class play on the 2016 Rio Olympic Games covers all 28 sports, identifying the challenges facing all those taking part in the Games this year. And as usual, our narrator has more than enough challenges of his own - keeping order with this very 'mixed bunch'! Citius Altius and Fortius are all admirably demonstrated - even by those winning backwards!?! Read on to find out who these unlikely champions are! Sample Text: Narrator: Well I do feel I’m burning up rather a large number of calories – just listening to what all these athletes have to do! Still, I guess sitting in a boat can’t be that hard! Child 16: (Exploding) Pardon? I’d like to see you taking on them rapids! Narrator: (Anxiously) Rapids? Whoever said anything about rapids? Not the white water variety I’m hoping? Child 16: Oh yes! You could find yourself in some very deep water! Narrator: Not if I have anything to do with it! I’ll be keeping my feet firmly on the ground! Child 16: Well, we do race our canoes on still water, too. But there’s nothing still about our bodies when we’re battling to get to that finishing line first! Child 17: And then there’s us rowers! The only guys to cross the finishing line backwards! Narrator: Pardon? Child 17: Yes, winning backwards is our speciality! Eight of us pulling on those oars, splashing along backwards! Narrator: So how can you see where you’re going? Child 17: By listening to the cox – he or she acts as our eyes and tells us which way to go! Narrator: Quite a responsible job, I’m guessing! Keeping you on that river – and not in it!
