Since the Olympics are going on right now, I thought is would be a lot of fun to have an Olympic Day for preschool today. We talked about all the different events they have in the Summer Olympics. (Well not all of them, but a lot) and we talked about how there are Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals. I also shared that my favorite part about watching the olympics is when someone from America wins the GOld Medal. I love listening to the Star Spangled Banner and watching the American flag rise.
We headed outside to do some of our activities. For the hammer throw I just got a brown paper bag and filled it with garbage sacks and then tied a string on it. The kids had to spin 3 times and then throw it to see how far they could get it.
Thank you Miss Lindsey for having your phone today to take pictures when my camera died:) You are the best!
We did the Javelin Throw as well. I taped 4 straws together and they got 3 tries to try and get their javelin in the basket.
We also did sprints to see who was the fastest runner and one little guy wanted to see who could jump the highest.
At the end we played parachute with blankets and had some drinks and snacks. 
Everyone was a winner and got a gold medal!
