Olympic Games

What's this?

                                        

They are five circles with different colours. Can you tell me the name of these colours in English?

If you don’t remember the name of some of them, please watch this video.



In this video the word "colour" (color in Spanish) appears as "color". This is American English.


Now, I’m going to tell you a little bit about the story of these Olympic Rings. They represent the five parts of the world which are involved in Olympic Games. These six colours are in all the flags which participate in Olympic Games, with no exception: The blue and yellow of Sweden, the blue and white of Greece, the tri- colours of France, England and America, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Hungary, the yellow and red of Spain next to the novelties of Brazil or Australia, with old Japan and new China. Pierre de Coubertin designed this flag and was the author of the most important idea in the Olympic Games,

“The most important thing is not to win but to take part”


Do you know Olympic Games are in London today?

Enjoy this video and be the fire around England!!!
