Olympic Themed Party

]]> The Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics are tomorrow! Get the kids in the mood by holding your own backyard Olympics or an Olympic watching party.

Backyard Olympics

  • Make your own Olympic torches and have a torch relay
  • Decorate with an Olympic country flag banner
  • Set up a backyard obstacle course and time the runners going through the course
  • Play backyard volleyball
  • Have a hula hoop contest
  • Other easy events to measure include long jump, sprinting, jump rope, and similar

Have an Olympic viewing party

  • Print and cut out the Olympic mascots for table decorations
  • Put together a centerpiece with different country stick flags and patriotic extras
  • Make Olympic ring cupcakes or cookies by covering treats with vanilla frosting and making Olympic rings out of M&Ms or Jelly beans
  • Allrecipes has some really fun menu ideas for an Olympic party

Who are you rooting for? Me, I am rooting for every athlete at the games – they have all worked so hard to get there!
