History of the Winter Olympics || READING & WRITING ACTIVITIES || No-Prep Unit

Immerse Your Students in the History and Excitement of the Winter Olympics

While the Summer Olympics often steal the spotlight, the Winter Olympics are equally thrilling! This Activities Pack is here to bring that excitement into your classroom.

I recommend using this resource with Secondary School students. These activities are also suitable for ESL/ELL students whose level of English is Intermediate (B1-B2) or Advanced (C1-C2).

PRINT AND DIGITAL VERSIONS OF THE ACTIVITIES ARE INCLUDED.
