Host your own Olympics
Have some fun with friends and family.
Last week, we had an Olympic Games day at our library, and it was so much fun! The kids really had a blast, and it was so simple to put on—simple but genius, as our librarians tend to always be!-that I decided that we need to host such a thing in our homeschool group, as well.
To host your own Olympics, plan out a few events and invite the kids (or friends—adults can do this, too) over for the event. Be sure to have plenty of water at the ready, as well as snacks for hungry kids. Doing these events at a park may be the easiest way, since you can play real volleyball and such if you want to—but you can also keep it simple with string and balloons like our librarians did. Here are just a couple of fun activities you can do.
