Giant Journeys

Sport & VR Journey

Our Sport and VR journey is a unique mixture of Virtual Reality and PE. Inspired by the recent Olympics, we work with one class at a time and start the session by choosing a country.

Using VR headsets, we’ll first explore iconic landmarks of the chosen country before traveling back in time to Ancient Olympia—the birthplace of the Olympic Games. There, pupils will witness the former site of the legendary Statue of Zeus, one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

After this virtual exploration, it’s time to get active! Children will compete in Olympic-inspired events, representing their chosen country in activities such as the 10-meter sprint. A favorite challenge is racing to beat Usain Bolt’s record-breaking time of 1.74 seconds through our laser gates.

 

This workshop combines learning about the rich history of the Olympics with physical activity, encouraging teamwork, healthy competition, and global cultural awareness.

Perfect for bringing sports and history to life in schools, this workshop is a fun and educational journey through time and sport.
