Looking for something fun to do with your swing sets in Nashville?THROW AN OLYMPICS-THEMED PARTY!
Your kids may be getting a little restless as summer starts to wind down and the Olympics will be here in less than three weeks. That sounds like two great reasons to throw an end-of-summer Olympic-themed party using your swing sets in Nashville! If you don’t have time to plan an Olympic party in July or August, hang on to these ideas for use at a back-to-school party, birthday party or just a fun neighborhood gathering!
– Create invitations that look like sporting tickets; you can find plenty of templates and ideas online with a quick search.
– Encourage attendees to wear their favorite sports outfits: leotards, swimsuits, basketball uniforms, etc. These can be very fun and creative!
– For Olympic-themed food, provide dishes from various countries or just stick with a red, white and blue theme. Top things off with a simple Olympic rings cake in a 9″x13″ pan. Use blueberries, sliced strawberries, kiwi, mandarin oranges and blackberries to create the five colored rings on top of a white whipped topping background.
– Set up stations in your backyard for a rotation-style competition: trampoline (gymnastics), basketball goal (basketball), play set (track and field), kiddie pool (swimming), etc.
– Plan an activity that each participant must complete at each station and either score them at each station for a final total score or create an obstacle course and time the entire course. Here are some ideas:
– Basketball goal: Make the most goals in 30 seconds
– Play set: Timed obstacle course
– Trampoline: Judges rate a routine
– Discus: Longest distance to throw a frisbee
– Bicycle: Tricycle race
Select winners for each station and/or final competition winners. Have a medal ceremony complete with gold, silver and bronze medals being awarded.
