Olympic Day - Home School Version

 At Queen of Angels, their annual end of the year field day is known as Olympic Day, and each class is assigned and learns about a country which they represent for the day.  Of course this year, none of that wasn't going to happen.  So the kids and I decided to put on our own Olympic Day at home.  Each child chose their own country - Nicholas:Mexico, Henry: USA, Grace: Turkey, Samuel:Senegal (he thought it was the easiest looking flag to make:-). They spent the day competing in various events which included: bean bag toss, jump rope, hoola hoop, tug of war, water bottle flip, basketball knockout, balloon popping, sponge bucket race, three legged race, wheelbarrow race, 1 lap around the yard sprint, and ladder golf.   Everyone was a winner and everyone had fun!!

As always, Olympic Day started with the parade of the athletes and the singing of the national anthem!

The bean bag toss...with whiffle balls since the bean bags went missing!
