Favorite Summer Games Resources

The Olympic Summer Games are less than a month away! Are you ready? We are! And we are excited. Four years ago we began our homeschool year with a unit study around the Summer Olympics. We learned all about the history of the games, the city the games were held, sports in general, what it takes to become an Olympian and much, much more. And we plan to do it again.
