A Week on the Olympics!

Welcome to our week on the Olympics!


Journal Time - I pulled out the globe to show the kiddos where Sochi, Russia is.

Olympic Ring Paper Plates - We talked about how all the colors of the rings, including the white background represent the colors of the different country's flags who are participating in the Olympic games.

Snack - During snack (olympic ring bagels) we watched some clips of various Olympic sports.  Also for snack we enjoyed eating "gold medals" - golden oreos!  Yum!  We also made edible torches this week (cones and cheetos).

Gold Medals - Gold paint, card stock and yarn.

Ice Skating - A favorite Olympic sport.  We used wax paper for our skates...

Olympic Tp Torch Relay - After we made our torches, we had to do the torch relay...

Figure Skating Again - The kiddos got to skate some toys around this mini rink.  They also skated their fingers a bit, but that was cold!

Down Hill Skiing - Like our slope?  The kiddos sent all sorts of toys skiing down it.

I just used some hot pocket boxes I had in the freezer and the preschool chairs.  The kids had a blast.  Instead of tossing our slope in the recycle bin, I think I'll keep it for a rainy day.
