TORCH SONG RELAY Explain that before the Olympics starts, there is a TORCH RELAY whereby a torch is lit from ancient Olympic in Greece and carried to places all over the world and finally to the place where the Olympics are to be held. To start off our Singing Olympics, we will have our own TORCH RELAY. As we sing, we will pass the torch to the person next to you when I point to you. At the end, have the last child hand you the torch and place on the table. This should be done with respect and reverence. Sing with the lights out, but use a lantern or lamp for extra light if your room gets too dark. The flashlight will not give off enough light.
