The Olympics are a great opportunity to discuss traits of leadership and success with students since it is one of the few cultural events that most Americans follow (even more than American Idol). Here are a few discussion questions you might use with students:
- Who has inspired you in this Olympics? Why?
- Who has shown leadership during these Olympic games? Why?
- Are successful athletes leaders? Why or why not?
- What can we learn about leadership and teamwork from the Olympics?
- How is “real life” different than the competitions at the Olympic games?
- What traits do successful leaders and successful athletes have in common?
- Why do we cheer for some athletes/teams and not others?
