Olympics Activities 2021

Yes, we are stuck in lockdown in South Australia but thank goodness for the Olympics.

Daddy loving lockdown!!!!!

At first I thought it was ridiculous that we are fighting to see our family members in the same state and on the other side of the world, yet we are sending our athletes to Japan to compete…..but I am grateful that we did. It has given us something to watch whilst stuck at home. I just pray all the athletes stay safe over there.

So we are using the Olympics to our advantage in our home and creating lots of craft and games relating.

I thought I would share them with you all in case you are searching for activity ideas while you are stuck at home.

You can alter these to suit the age groups of children that you have.

HAVE FUN 🙂
