Winter Games Ideas

Hockey - Set up a children's sized hockey set, ball and net. If you have enough children for teams and your group is old enough, you can set up a game. Otherwise, just let the children have fun trying to score on the net.

Bobsledding - Take the sleds/toboggans to the hill. Mark distances and see how far the sleds will go.

Snowshoe Races - Plastic tennis rackets (found at the dollar store) can substitute for real snowshoes. Race to the finish line.

Cross Country Course - Set up a trail/obstacle course and let the children GO!

Snowman Competition - Have children build snowmen - award medals for the fattest, smallest, largest, etc.

Snowball Competition - Have a supply of snowballs on hand - see how far the children can throw them - set up a tape measure on the ground to record distances.

Pairs Competition - Have children work in teams to create a snow sculpture.


Songs
Olympics Song
(Sung to "I Wish I Were An Oscar Myer Weiner")

Oh, I wish that I could be in the Olympics,
I wish that I could skate and have some fun.
For if I could skate in the Olympics,
I'm sure that I'd be number one!

Oh, I wish that I could be in the Olympics,
I wish that I could ski and have some fun.
For if I could ski in the Olympics,
I'm sure that I'd be number one!

Oh, I wish that I could be in the Olympics,
I wish that I could curl and have some fun.
For if I could curl in the Olympics,
I'm sure that I'd be number one!
