Are you following the evolution of the Olympic Games? Are you excited about the victories of the Spanish delegation? Do you involve children in the efforts, triumphs and disappointments of the players? If so You are the ideal family to complement the afternoons in front of the TV with some ideas that come through the Internet.
Snacks, sweets, decoration, ideas to decorate, games... we have selected some proposals that we liked very much, and we bring them for you to take advantage of. Do you want to meet them? Keri from his blog 'thehometeacher' gives us a rich idea to make mini olympic torches (very sweet by the way). He has baked a prepared cake dough, although I think it would be more practical to fill the cones with vanilla ice cream that you can buy in the super, and cut thin slices of candied half orange, to serve as a flame.
And if the children's friends arrive to see a swimming test on your television, you can print flags from all countries, hold them with a little zeal to toothpicks, and place them on top of sandwiches.
But maybe we should before decorate the house a little, this idea of Lisa in moore minutes, is very simple: rectangles of one centimeter wide are cut in yellow, green, red, blue and black, and the ends are joined with staples, skewing the rings to form garlands. Do not miss that blog because it is updated frequently with very original ideas.
When we are all tired of so many medals, podiums, joys and cries, we can play with this printable board (in 'moneysavingmom'), it is a game in which whoever reaches the finish line wins after having passed the tests. Or maybe download some of these drawings to color.
Do you know what? I think what will really motivate children is that organize your own olympics: a circuit with tests that will consist of the game of the tile, jumping rope, obstacle course and relay, and finally another one in which it competes in pairs with the ankles (right leg of an opponent, with left leg on the other) knotted gently with a handkerchief.
You will have a good time, for sure.
