Detailed description

This worksheet, ‘The Winter Olympic Mascot, Hare’ is a great resource that explores the story behind the Winter Olympic Games’ mascot, Hare. The Sochi Winter Olympics were the first Games to hold a national competition to design their mascots and each mascot has a wonderful background story as to why they were selected for Sochi 2014. Students are encouraged to illustrate the narrated story or research the story themselves and interpret it their own way. It is a fun activity that can lead to discussion on why mascots are chosen and what they aim to represent.
