Have you seen the book G is for Gold Medal? It is the neatest alphabet book that is all about the history of the Olympics. I purchased this book four years ago in preparation for the last Summer Olympics, but my boys were not quite old enough to enjoy it (it goes into quite a bit of detail on each page). This year, Big Brother has already read it cover to cover all on his own!
G is for Gold Medal inspired us to make our own Summer Olympic Events Alphabet Coloring Book! This FREE printable book is perfect for encouraging kids to learn more about the individual Summer Olympic events. It is extremely simple and would also work great for entertaining younger children while you watch the Olympics on TV!

Here is the book straight off the printer…completely black and white!
We used crayons to color the cover.
The inside is not exactly like a traditional coloring book and you and your child will have to get creative on ways to add color to this fun book!
This activity is part of the Kid Blogger Network’s Olympic Activities Round-Up. There are over 50 awesome activities shared, including a printable Summer Olympics Challenge for Kids!

I just can’t tell you how AWESOME this is! Love it so much!
Thank you, thank you thank you!!! I work with a population of children with autism. I plan on having the kids match Picture Communication Symbols to many of the words. They will be able to color the other events. This is very helpful!!! I read G is For Gold Medal today. This will be a great follow-up tomorrow!!!
