Day 1 / Discovering the winter sports in the Olympic games Let’s discover the Winter Olympics! 1. Take a look at the 15 official disciplines - if there are some that aren’t that familiar to you, look for more information at www.pyeongchang2018.com. 2. Let each one of you mark with a pencil the three sports one likes the most.
3. The three sports that got the most points are now your family sports! If you have some with an equal number of votes or there aren’t any matches at all, decide by consensus or by similarity of the sports. 4. Follow what’s happening with your family sports on each mission day.

Day 2 / Discovering and sharing our impressions from the Olympic games Let’s create a mood board with our personal impressions! 1. Think about things you relate to sports and the Olympic games - colours (the official ones), symbols (logo, mascot), objects (a skate, torch, medals), atmosphere (mountain, snow, fireworks from the ceremony), location (Korea, its flag). 2. In each section of the board, draw the elements you like the most - you can again take a look at the website or images
for inspiration. Then discuss the board with each other - you can come up with even more interesting ideas and sketch them out here.

Day 3 / Choosing the symbols of our family team Time for a new stage in the mission - let’s choose a logo, a name and a mascot for our team! 1. Take a look at your mood board for inspiration for your logo (colours, shapes, sports elements) - check out the next page as well. 2. Discuss and draw different versions and ideas on this page (and on the back of the previous one, if you need more space). When there’s a clear favourite, note it down. 3. Then choose your team name - write down a couple of keywords for inspiration (your family name, winter and sports stuff, adjectives like fast, strong, agile). When you settle on a good one, put it next to the logo. 4. Now it’s time for the mascot! Take a look at the current Olympic games mascots and think about a favourite stuffed animal or a toy hero. If it is at home, keep it close to the team during the mission.

Mission completed! Here’s how the creators of the mission played it together: Sports are a special topic at home. We love them, we practice some of them, we follow what’s new and interesting. That’s why we met the Winter Olympic Games with great anticipation. We watched the opening ceremony and discussed our impressions for days ahead - some of our family members even dreamt about it :) Mission: Family Sports Team went great - we had so much fun! Each day we took time to watch our favourite sports - freestyle skiing, ice skating and bobsleigh. Sonny came up with a great logo, Annie was adamant about the mascot (the Laika dog - yes, it’s the one in space you’re thinking about), I’m still trying to remember some of the names of the disciplines (skeleton, anyone?) but fortunately Georgi is always around to help me out. And our team is called “Kamovi Korea”. The press conference was great fun for all of us. We had our logo on badges and giveaways and shared a lot of valuable insights when answering the questions.
We spent a wonderful time together - if you also enjoyed the mission, follow all
the cool challenges in our “Design Explorers” program. See you soon! Tsveti, Georgi, Sonny, Annie (and the Laika dog)
