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.
