Sport is always very important for our life, for our health. Sports and especially outdoor activities help everybody.

A lesson in history, when we talk about the first antique Olympic games, we look at the first Olympic kinds of sports. (history)
After the lesson- we chose one kind of sport from the ancient Olympic games and make our story about history till nowadays. (history, sports history)
