Winter Olympic Games Writing Challenge | Resilience & Mindset!

Winter Olympic Games Writing Challenge | Resilience & Mindset!
ELA, P.E. & Health, Writing, Creative Writing, Grammar, Grade 2, 3, 4, 5, Games, Activities

Getting kids to enjoy writing during the early elementary years is key. One way we can do that is to tie in their interests to the writing process. The Winter Olympic Games provide an amazing perspective on the effects of hard work and dedication. Learners will think through their definitions of victory and success, while contemplating mindset and resilience in the face of challenges. In addition to these key SEL areas, learners encounter the fun task of choosing their sport and the location of the Olympics they are competing at, bringing in an element of geography. Thinking about the way we think is a foundational skill for growing the executive functions our kiddos will use in the editing process. For this reason, a short checklist has been included at the end of page 4 so that learners can begin to go back and check their work. This key skill in developing healthy executive functioning is intentionally made visible to students to prompt ownership over the quality of their writing. STANDARDS: Meets CCSS Writing standards for grades 2-5. Don't forget to check out the Chef's Toolbox, Superhero's Toolbox, and Astronaut's Toolbox activities for more fun! These activities can be used with a whole class in addition to the writing challenge printable. This printable is optimal for 2nd-5th graders who enjoy learning about sports and demonstrating their knowledge of them. By using the included matrix to choose the setting, challenge, and characters in their story, they'll use the freedom afforded them to create something they love. BONUS: Take advantage of the 4 extension activity ideas included in this printable. These activities will take their writing beyond the page and bring it to life in STEAM-supported outlets. What you'll get: a 4 page PDF including instructions, extension activity ideas, and 3 student pages. One of these pages is simply writing space for you to print off as many copies as you need based on the amount your students are writing. You'll also find the editing checklist to prompt students to edit their own work for spelling, capitalization, and punctuation.
