Spellings
There is no spelling rules
for these. You will need to learn these.
History
Back then it was only held in Olympia, whereas now it is
held in a different country around the world each time.
The Games were held every four years, as they are today.
The Ancient OlympicsThe Olympic Games are thought to have
started in 776BC in Greece.
The Games were part of a very important
religious festival.
The Greek Olympics inspired the modern
Olympic Games which began in 1896.
The Games were held every four years at
Olympia, a valley in southwest Greece.
The Games were held in honour of the
king of the gods, Zeus.
People from all over the Greek world
travelled to watch and take part.
Messengers were sent out from Elis, a city near Olympia, to announce a ‘sacred truce’ lasting one month before the games began.
This allowed people to travel to the Olympics in safety.
The truce was always honoured as the Olympic Games were a religious festival, and was much more important than war.
The city-states of Greece were very often at war, which made travelling around the country dangerous.
The Sacred Truce
The first Olympic Games only lasted a day, and the only event was a short race from one end of the
stadium to the other.
Gradually, more events were added to make four days of competitions. The events included boxing, chariot, racing,
discus, javelin, long jump and wrestling.
One of the toughest events was the race for the hoplites, men wearing armour and carrying shields.
Winners were given a wreath of leaves and a hero’s welcome back home. Winners might have been allowed to
marry rich women, and enjoy invitations to parties, free meals and the best seats in theatres.
Events at the Games
It was very hot and overcrowded, with a very poor water supply, but this did not
stop people from coming!
The games ended with a large feast. Traders came to do business, politicians
made speeches to the crowds and entertainers such as acrobats and jugglers
performed.
The stadium could hold around 50,000 people. Away from the arena, most
spectators had to find somewhere to pitch their tents or sleep rough, but athletes and important people had hotel rooms.
Spectators
The pankration, or all-in wrestling, was a very nasty event!
Cheating was punished. For instance, anyone caught trying to bribe an athlete had to pay for a bronze statue of Zeus!
All-in wrestling was very popular. There were hardly any rules! Biting and
poking people’s eyes were banned, but some competitors ignored these rules!
Boxing was tough too. The fighters wore leather gloves and a boxer was
allowed to carry on hitting his opponent even after he’d knocked him
to the ground!
The Pankration
Only men, boys and unmarried girls were allowed to attend the Olympic Games. Any women caught sneaking in were
punished!
Women could compete in races, though only unmarried girls were allowed
to take part.
Unmarried women had their own festival at Olympia every four years. This was called
the Heraia, held in honour of Hera, wife of Zeus.
The winners were awarded crowns of sacred olive branches, the same as men.
Women at Olympia
Today, as well as the Summer Olympics, the Winter Olympics are held two years after the Summer
Games.
To symbolise the Ancient Olympics, the torch is carried around the country of the Games.
In the Ancient Greek Olympics there were only
ten sports.
In the Modern Olympics there are more than
twenty different sports.

Olympics
The pentathlon consisted of running, wrestling, long jump, discus and javelin.
The modern pentathlon is made up of pistol shooting, fencing,
swimming, showjumping and a cross-country run.

them grip.

Using the information you
have read about fill in the Venn diagram. Only Ancient Greece on the
left, only modern day Olympics on
the right and anything that happened back then and now in
the middle. If you are
stuck there are some ideas on the next slide.
Here are some examples of things you could put in your Venn Diagram.
PSHE
Today’s PSHE lesson is a debate.
“SHOULD EVERY CHILD GET A MEDAL ON SPORTS DAY?”
Below is a table using lots of debate words for and against this argument. What do you think? Should everyone who races get amedal so it is fair on everyone or should just the winners get the medals? Do you think the medals mean the same if everyone gets one? Would you do your best if you always got a medal? What about children who are not very good at sport? All of these points and more need to be decided before you write a paragraph about your own views on this. You have to pick ONE side either for all
children getting medals or against all children getting medals.
For every word you use below there are points attached e.g. if you say “I think all children should get a medal.” You get -1 because it is a boring sentence. If you say “With my knowledge I understand that not all children are good at sport” you will receive 2
points.
