The Winter Olympics are almost here! It is a fun time to learn about new sports (who else has looked up curling clubs every four years), and marvel at the amazing athleticism.
While the 2022 games look quite a bit different than 2018, it is still a great time to learn about and have fun with the festivities.
Today I’m sharing some ideas of ways to have your own Olympic party at home (or in your classroom).
These games aren’t specific to the winter Olympics, so they could easily be used again in 2024 for the summer Olympics (and beyond).
There are seven different games included in this Olympics Party Pack, feel free to use how ever many that you want for your own Olympic Games. Some of them are individual competitions and others require a team.
Below are the materials needed to complete the Olympics Party, at the bottom is a printable kit which includes things like medals, Start and Finish signs, and gift bag toppers. It also includes the instructions for each of the games.
