Winter Games Resources for a Homeschool Unit Study
I love the season of international games. It doesn’t matter if it’s the summer games or the winter games. For the summer games I like to watch gymnastics, swimming, diving and track & field. It might surprise you to learn that my favorite winter games sport to watch is curling. I’m just very amazed at what they can do. I also love watching ski jump and ice skating.

So what is it that I love about curling? Well, I think it’s amazing that they can throw this heavy granite stone across the ice, create a path of friction with brooms and lay that stone with such precision. It’s simply amazing.
