Olympics ideas

[Natternic]

Ok I know its only January but what ideas do you have to do with the olympics? We are in Essex not far from where the Biking event will be, other than making a torch, visiting the site, making flags and having our own Olmpics, I cant really come up with any other ideas???
Thought it might be nice to have an entire sub folder with ideas in

Hi what about making a cake and decorating it like a flag, making a medal or reading sport related storys. I would also like to use olympics as a theme but its hard to think of activities to do.

as a brownie guider, and registered with Sainsburys active kids scheme I have been able to apply for their paralympic kit which they are giving away free. It arrived last week and is great a ball with bells in for 'blind football', blindfolds and a ball plus net for sitting volley ball. My plan is to have lots of sports using these and other balls, bats ropes etc depending on children's ages

Im also trying to plan ahead and think of things to with 1 and 2 year olds for the olympics, we are having a olympic sports day with other childminders. Im also thinking of making medals, decorating cakes, getting the littlies to design their own flag. Im absolutely stuck what else to do with this age range, and also want to include the paralympics in too, any suggestions please?

one of my schoolies came home with an ancient greek wreath on his head.
Leaves threaded through pipe cleaners so simple!

We decided to create our own opening ceremony for the Olympics which included singing, dancing and so forward rolls hilarious but great fun


Also talked about what sports are included and did some mimes of the different ones and looked at some clips on the pc. Got the children to think about which sport they would do and why.

Great afternoon of fun as well as making our torches,
