Get ready for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris by learning about the Olympic Games past and present, a tradition that began in Ancient Greece! Much like the Olympics themselves, modern-day Greece is a fascinating mix of old and new! Visit an Ancient Greek amphitheater that still stands today and learn about the legendary practices of Greek theatre. Enjoy a retold version of the classic myth of Apollo and the laurel tree. Learn a happy dance, whip up your own olive oil ice cream, figure out the Greek alphabet, design a Greek vase, and so much more!
