Good morning and welcome to Kid News.

We're hitting the beach for a few weeks, but we're still keen to keep you in the know

and on your toes.

Tune in for a different Kid News classic and new alert challenge every day until the end

of July.

Do you watch the Olympics?

Today we combine two headlines, one from last year and one from this past spring.

First, in the winter games that were recently held in Beijing, we were introduced to a new

sport called the monobob.

A monobob is a bobsled, pushed, and then steered by a single person.

And in upcoming summer games, we might just get to see Olympic flag football, a final

vote on adding this super popular non-contact sport to the 2028 games in Los Angeles will

take place in October.

Invent a new sport that could be added to the Olympics next year.

Diac races down a snow-covered hill, catching a cell phone before it drops into a pool of

sharks, design a poster and write a convincing paragraph to get the new sport added.

Tune in tomorrow for a new story and question taken from our podcast and from our free monthly

worksheet known as the Noodler.

Each exercise is designed to take our Kid News kids beyond the headlines to get them thinking

critically about current events.

And while you noodle, we're recharging our news batteries and looking forward to getting

back on the air with fun fresh episodes on Monday, July 31st.
