We LOVE the Winter Olympics!
To add to the fun (and the learning) this time around we let each of our children pick a country (from a pre-selected list) to root for in addition to the United States. Then we tracked their progress.
As we watched various events the kids would see their country's flag or athlete and immediately you could see their investment in the event. It was fun!
Favorite events for the kids were: ice skating, ice dancing, bobsleigh, and snowboarding.
Emma and Samuel made their own little skiing event in our yard:
Emma (and her doll) practiced her ice skating moves on roller skates around the house...
At the end we handed out home-maid metals! Each of them got a silver for the U.S., plus a special metal according to how their country did.
Lucas did he best coloring ever on an Olympic coloring page. He was very purposeful in his coloring.
