Last week, I shared with you the lesson I came up with to teach my co-op class about the Olympics. {Olympics for Kids – A Lesson Plan (Part 1)} This week I want to share with you our Mini-Olympic Games.
Mini-Olympic Games for Kids
- Torch Relay
This was funny to me. We ran the torch relay two times because the first time the kids treated the torch as though it was a hot potato and did the torch relay so fast, I couldn’t get any pictures. While they were running the torch relay, I had the Olympic Fanfare Medley playing.
- Opening Ceremony

- Shot Put
- Discus Throw
- Balloon Between the Knee Race

- 100″ Dash
- Hug-the-Balloon Buddy Race
- Backwards Dash
- Birdie Feather Race

- Award Ceremony

- Closing Ceremony

Bless you for these lesson plans! We plan to start back to school “officially” on July 23rd with our first unit study of The Olympics! I have bookmarked both of your posts and will be using lots of your resources! Thank you so much! You just made my summer much more relaxed since I won’t have to re-invent the wheel.
just thought I would drop a note, I am not sure if you are aware but your “brought to you by” advertisement is for a video game. While I was attempting to read your blog the advertisement began to play, and it was a video of an avatar undressing and being extremely inappropriate. I just thought I would let you know, it is highly offensive.
How fun! These are such great ideas! Thank you for linking up to Family Joy Blog Link-Up Party this week.
Thanks so much!
