Olympic torch

Today we made the Olympic torch! I explained to the students that the Olympics originated from Greece, so the torch would be lit in Greece in a traditional ceremony, travel throughout the country, and then passed on to the Vancouver Organizing Committee (for this year's Olympics), and then transported to Vancouver by flight. Athletes would have a torch relay, which in the end would arrive at Vancouver's BC Place.

I pre-made the "torches" for the students, so all they had to do is add in the "flames", which is made of tissue papers, and to add the Vancouver 2010 logo onto the torch. They had a fun time doing it, and some of them held the torch and posed for me when I took pictures~
