Winter / Summer Games Technology Activity: Design a Torch on Google Slides

Students will design their own torch for the Winter or Summer Games in Google Slides™ using just the copy, paste and even the fill tool. Students learn about the history of the torch and what it symbolizes. Then they will design their "torches" by cutting and pasting the included images. Finally they will label and write what the items and design choices they made symbolize.

Plus, the entire slideshow is EDITABLE so you can customize the text and images to fit your students' needs.
