Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 (2021 due to COVID)23 July 2021 - 8 August 2021

Cranbourne Secondary College’s Library Olympic Games challenge is created to engage you in a competitive and inclusive challenge that will inspire you to read more, read with your friends and to use books to help you complete enjoyable tasks.

You can complete any or all tasks individually or in teams. This will earn points for your form group.

For an even playing field, books are to be borrowed from our E Books Platform collection. These can be accessed via Compass. Click on the star and then select ‘E books Platform’.

Enter your Compass username and password. Hint – scroll to the bottom of the E Platform main page to select categories. You can only borrow one E Book at a time and it’s good sportsmanship to immediately return it for the next competitor.

Challenge 1: Flag design

Design your own flag, which includes reference to a book that inspires you. It can be a personal flag or make a team flag. Include the names of your group members. We will display the flags on our library Olympic Games display.

Challenge 2: Pictogram design

Design a new set of Olympic Pictograms for reading in a variety of imaginative ways. Reading while surfing, reading while rowing, or maybe reading while riding a horse?

Challenge 3: Reading Challenge

Record the title and author of the books you read plus your name and your partner. You must choose a different eBook for each event.

Note we can see if you are cheating on E Platform.

Artistic Gymnastics: Read 3 Picture Books
100m Sprint: Read a short story
Marathon: Read for 30mins straight
Triathlon: Read the first chapter of 3 books by 3 different authors
Weightlifting: Read a book of more than 200 pages
