Host a Family Olympics

Help your child create a Home Olympics! Try to hold your event outside, or put mats on the floor indoors. Remind children that the object is not to win, but to have FUN!
Materials
Directions
Obstacle Course: Help your children plan and create a safe course they can go over, under, around, and through. For example, run around trees or jump over towels.
Balloon Volleyball: Designate two sides of a “court” and have players on either side bat a balloon back and forth.
Tumbling Tornadoes: Let your child tumble as the wish on a safe, soft surface.
Cross the Creek: Using tape or chalk, make two lines that are a food apart. Players hop or run across the “creek.” They can also look for ways to build bridges.
Cooperative Race: Have partners link a part of their bodies together (such as elbows or hands) and run to a finish line.
Awards Ceremony: Have your child create Olympic medals and hold a medal ceremony.
