Every Olympic year, I present the students with the challenge of inventing a new sport that combines two real sports from either the Summer or Winter Games. The creativity always amazes me, as the students are challenged to come up with visual aids, rules, scoring systems, and even uniforms! Paragraphs are organized by Introduction, Details, and Conclusions, with an emphasis on painting a picture in the readers' mind of what this new sport would look like. Enjoy these samples from across the grades!
Hit Soccer, by Eleanor (2nd grade)
I have created a hard new sport for the next Olympic games. It is called "Hit Soccer." This challenging sport combines golf and soccer, and will make you happy to watch.
Let me explain how to play. One player kicks the golf ball with his feet. The other player hits the soccer ball with the golf club. Winners are first to get the golf ball in the hole, and the soccer ball in the net.
The uniforms are t-shirts with the number on the front, and a hat. It's play on the largest field, and there's a referee, people cheering, and points.
In conclusion, my new sport is the hardest new game!
