Sport is playing games and doing activities. It helps us get strong and learn skills. It is fun for people who play and for people who watch. There are many kinds of sport. Some sports are played alone and some are played with lots of people. Sports can be with a team or just by yourself. Sometimes a sport ends with no winner. But, in many sports, we find out who is number one. Some sports have big games to see who is the best.
Sport is about being active and fit. Some people say sport must make you move your body. But some games like chess are also called sport. They use your brain! The Olympic Games say chess is a sport. In sport, there are rules to make the games fair. People win by doing things like getting points or being the fastest. Sometimes judges decide who is the best.
We keep records of who wins and does well. Many people like to hear about the winners in sports. They like to know who is the best at each game!
Sports now are for the whole world. Long ago, sports started in Great Britain and the United States. People only played in their own towns or countries. Then, British sports like football and cricket became popular everywhere. Big sports events began too. The Olympic Games started in 1896 in Athens and many countries joined. FIFA, which is for football, started in 1904. At first, only European countries were in FIFA. Soon, other countries joined like South Africa. Now, we can watch sports from any country on TV or online.
A long time ago, there was a special place that made cartoons. This place was called Famous Studios and later it had a new name, Paramount Cartoon Studios. It started in 1942 and made cartoons until 1967. It made cartoons with characters like Popeye the Sailor and Superman. It also made cartoons about a friendly ghost named Casper and a little girl named Little Audrey.
Before it was Famous Studios, it was called Fleischer Studios. Two brothers, Max and Dave Fleischer, made this first studio. In 1942, the brothers left and the new studio began.
Today, different movie places look after these old cartoons. Some are with Paramount Pictures, some with Universal Pictures, and others with Warner Bros.
Fleischer Studios was a good place for cartoons too. They made a cartoon about a woman named Betty Boop and one about Popeye. They moved their studio to a place called Miami in 1938.
