Teacher Notes

A. Prior to the lesson:

1. Arrange students into groups. Each group needs at least ONE person who has a mobile device.

2. If their phone camera doesn't automatically detect and decode QR codes, ask students to

3. Print out the QR codes.

4. Cut them out and place them around your class / school.

B. The lesson:

1. Give each group a clipboard and a piece of paper so they can write down the decoded questions and their answers to them.

2. Explain to the students that the codes are hidden around the school. Each team will get ONE point for each question they correctly decode and copy down onto their sheet, and a further TWO points if they can then provide the correct answer and write this down underneath the question.

3. Away they go! The winner is the first team to return with the most correct answers in the time available. This could be within a lesson, or during a lunchbreak, or even over several days!

C. TIPS / OTHER IDEAS

Question

Answer

1. The last 3 Summer Olympics were hosted by Brazil, Uk and ChinaFactor
2. Nearly all the hosts of International Sporting events like the Olympics and World cup are HICs.Factor2
3. To be an Olympic host, the city needs to be big enough to handle the Olympics. With the games come a huge number of tourists, athletes, journalists, and politicians. They must show that they can host the games in new stadiums and venues, they must house all the people in adequate hotels, and they have to transport everyone from one place to the next with a reliable mass transit system. They also need to show that they can handle the high level of security needed at the games.Factor3
4. A host city needs to convince residents that the expenses of covering the Olympics (which may be covered by raising taxes) are worth it in city improvement and new jobs.Factor4
5. Athletes have used the Olympics as a political platform e.g. protests against racism.Factor5
6. Countries have boycotted the Olympics in the past due to conflicts with other nations or political stances.Factor6
7. Russia was disqualified from all international sporting events because of doping and more recently, the invasion of Ukraine.Factor7
8. Environmental factors that can affect events include typhoons, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and air pollution. Countries force factories to stop work in the lead up to events e.g. China in 2022.Factor8
9. Qatar will be hosting the world cup during winter due to high temperatures.Factor9
10. The stadiums in Qatar for the world cup will be dismantled and sent to other parts of the world for reuse. Some stadiums from Brazil’s World Cup are now in ruin.Factor10
11. Over 6500 migrant workers have died during the development of stadiums and infrastructure for the Qatar World Cup. This is due to heat and unsafe conditions.Factor11
12. 2022 World Cup - alcohol will be subsidized & drinking laws will be relaxed as a cultural concession.Factor12
13. Winter sports are more niche – tend to be expensive due to equipment. Fewer locations can hold this kind of event. Skiing and similar tend to be seen as being for wealthy, white people.Factor13
14. Legacy – an effect that lasts over time, ideally continuing to bring benefits to the location after the event has ended.Factor14
15. White elephant - a possession that is useless or troublesome, especially one that is expensive to maintain or difficult to dispose of. Montreal hosted the Olympics in 1976 but took 30 years to pay off.Factor15
16. LONDON 2012 - Idea of a positive legacy was crucial. Used as a way to regenerate a deprived area of east London. Promotion of sport. Health benefits – UK has high levels of obesity & diseases of affluence such as diabetes. Encouraging more people to participate in sport, especially girls. Community benefits – facilities available after the games.Factor16
17. Tokyo 2020 was postponed to 2021 due to pandemic.Factor17
18. SUMMARY - International sporting events are about more than just sport. A way for a country/city to ‘show off’ (soft power) but other countries can show resistance (boycotts). Encourages national/civic pride. A way to help to reduce inequality. Potential for a positive multiplier effect – money gained from tourism, benefits of the infrastructure and facilities, jobs. A global stage. Factor18
