Olympic Gamez
by Deborah Elder
(Prince Albert, SK Canada)
This works great for 6 years and up: can be adjusted for younger age groups as well. Setup 4 - 5 Stations:
1. Skipping Rope - Use second timer to mark down each child's time.
2. Torch Relay - Make torches. Have at least 2 groups of 2 or 3: faster group wins
3. Puzzle Maker - Each contestant does the same puzzle: fastest time wins
4. Twister - last one standing wins
5. Anything competitive can be turned into a Olympic Gamez
At the end of the Olympics, have an award ceremony with homemade medallions. Serve a snack afterwards.
