Our version has a fun Olympics twist. Try using the same basic premise for Paper Shot Put. Crumble up about a dozen or so balls of paper , preferably non-sensitive papers that were about to be recycled anyway. Then, put a line of masking tape on the floor, and set a trash bin about 10 feet away from the tape line on the floor.
Each contestant has to stand behind the line and spin around at least twice before throwing the paper ball mid-spin. Each player should be given three chances to make the shot.
The player with the most successful shots by the end of the first round wins. If more than one player is tied by the end of the first round, start a sudden death round where two players at a time have to compete head-to-head. Instead, find a long hallway or open space with minimal furniture or other obstacles. Then, have two people at a time sit in rolling office chairs. The two have to race to the finish line which can be marked with masking tape or a long piece of string held by two separate employees without getting up from their chairs.
They can move forward or backward in the chair and cannot use their chair or their hands to push the other competitor out of the way or slow them down. The one who makes it to the finish line first wins. This is a classic icebreaker game you may have played before. And unlike the other Office Olympics events, the whole team here has to win or lose together.
Have everyone stand in a circle and hold hands with two different people in the circle, preferably across from them and not someone standing immediately on either side. It takes a lot of creativity and a bit of stretching to get there, and the game can even last as long as 10 minutes or so. The game is a test in teamwork and communication. This is another game that requires a big open space and an empty portion of a wall. Take pictures of the day and make a scrapbook.
It just might become a repeat event in your family! Let the games begin with these 20 game ideas for an "At-Home Olympics" 1. Find countries on a map Challenge your kids' geography skills as one team tries to stump the other with finding different countries on a map.
Race to tie your shoes Choose a skill your child has been working on and turn it into a game—for example, have a race to see who can tie their shoes the fastest or who can pump the highest on a swing in 30 seconds. Spelling bee Have an Olympics-themed spelling bee as part of the games, with words like badminton, archery, equestrian, gymnastics, anthem, compete and representative.
Clean up race Set up a race to see who can clean their room the fastest or who can pick up a bucket of dumped Legos in the shortest time. Name that country Find some fun facts about different nations and cultures and quiz each other.
Throwing competition Choose a ball or a frisbee and see who can throw the farthest. Cartwheel contest Make sure to include some sports where your kid probably has the advantage, like a cartwheel contest. Basketball Basketball can be an indoor or outdoor sport if you have a little hoop and a ball. Races Three-legged races, pillowcase races, jumping races, galloping races—mix it up and include as many as you like! Long jump Practice jumping as far as you can, marking where each person lands.
Paper plane throwing contest Each team creates a paper airplane and then throws them to see whose goes the furthest. Tug of war You know the rules for this one! Stacking contest Who can stack the highest? Use blocks, rocks, whatever you have on hand.
Water bucket relay You can't have the summer Olympics without some water sports! Hula hooping contest Try to get this one on video if you can as it's sure to get silly. Sailboat racing Use a water table, blow up pool, or bathtub for an at-home sailboat race.
Jump rope contest Who can jump rope the longest? Cycling race Race balance bikes, tricycles or bikes around the perimeter of the backyard. Soccer No soccer goal at home? Before this summer Olympic game begins, toss the pennies into a pool and keep the jars at some distance.
Before the race of this winter Olympic party game starts, mark two zones inside your room as start and end points. Now, keep the objects in between such that the runners need to jump over the chairs and boxes as well as crawl beneath the table to reach their destination.
Along with organizing games and activities, you may check out innovative decorating ideas like making Olympic torches from paper-towel tubes, as well as employing shades of the Olympic rings as your color scheme to add that extra edge to your party.
