You will love these Olympic-themed party ideas, from food to backyard games and lots of kid-friendly crafts! 

Who else is super excited about the Olympics starting? We cannot wait! Especially since it’s now been 3 years since the last Olympic games. As a family, we decided that we’re going to have an Olympic-themed party for the opening ceremonies, and my kids are already brainstorming ideas. 

There are so many fun ideas that we found, we just had to share with you guys. Which one of these ideas is sticking out to you? I want to make them all! This isn’t specific to the Olympics, but you might also want to make some Ice Cream in a Bag this summer season!

Olympic Games to Play at Home

I think making backyard games into at-home Olympics is such a great idea. They’re an especially fun way to get into the Olympic spirit while taking a break from the TV! It would be fun to do some bike relays or learn some skateboarding tricks too (YAY for skateboarding now being an Olympic sport!)

So sweet, huh? I love that (with just a few exceptions) all of the ideas are quick and easy, just my style. It is way too frequent that I see a cute idea but it never comes to fruition because I have no time. Those things I can do.

Happy Olympics everybody, GO USA!!!
