Chariot Race Historical Background

There were multiple horse racing events at the Olympics, in which riders and their horses moved around the track a specific number of times.

The original and most popular event was the four-horse chariot race.

53 of 64

Chariot Racing: How We Will Play

To compete in the chariot race, you will be playing a game of Four Corners with your classmates.

In the game of Four Corners, students must try to stay in the game as long as possible, until they are the last student left. Students who make it to the end of the game will get the most points.

A volunteer will close their eyes and count down from 10. During this time, all other students must choose a corner of the room. Each one is labeled 1, 2, 3, or 4. Once they are done counting, the volunteer will pick a corner (while keeping their eyes closed), and anyone who went to that corner gets eliminated from the game and must sit back down.

Continue playing the game until there is just one student left. That student is the winner!

Play 2 rounds of 4 corners

54 of 64

Chariot Race/Four Corners Scoring

What changes could have improved the Panhellenic Games? Why?

The Panhellenic Games united the Greeks, even though the competitors were from different city-states. Do you think that sports divide people or bring people together today?
