Olympic Games

On the game board, you can see an Olympic stadium. In the back there is a cheering crowd with lots of details, e.g. people selling candy, people having fun, the police, … In the front, you see a large Olympic field. Different levels of exercises (easy, medium and hard) are depicted of three different types of sports. The children doing an exercise of one particular sport wear T-shirts of the same colour: ball games = a dark blue, gymnastics = white and athletics = light blue. In the middle of the game board, there is a stand. On the side of the stand you see images depicted. Find and count those images in the bigger picture.
