There are already a number of websites with resources and ideas for schools looking to give students a taste of the excitement of the Olympics as well as idea of how they can play a part.

The 'get set' website is a London 2012 education resource which has been created for young people, parents and teachers. CILT is part of the Get set network linking languages with the Olympic and Paralympic values through the Language and Film Talent Awards.

The Languages Work Olympics Factsheet (pdf, 372KB)is full of interesting activities to use in the classroom.

The DCSF website has an area dedicated to the Games, outlining its aims and ideas for 'ensuring a legacy from the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games for young people and learners.' The DCSF has ALSO produced two leaflets for use in schools, which can be ordered on-line or downloaded as pdf files.
