These are Olympic-themed writing prompts for Language Arts class. Choose one you like, copy and paste into a Word document, and answer the question.
1. Imagine you are an Olympic athlete. Choose your event. Tell what you do. List the equipment you use. Share how much practice time you need. Discuss your feelings when you are in your game.
2. Which Olympic event are you scared to try? Why?
3. What is your favorite sport? Why do you like it, and what do you like best about it?
4. Invent a new Olympic sport. There are many unusual Olympic sports, like skeleton (running and then sledding), biathlon (skiing plus shooting), and curling (using brooms to propel an object over ice). Make up a new sport that would be fun to watch and play.
5. Being an Olympic athlete requires a demanding training schedule which may be good and bad. Now write to explain why this demanding training schedule may be good and bad.
