Not everyone’s cut out for downhill skiing, but that doesn’t mean competition is only for Olympians. Create fun-friendly, low-effort activities to keep guests engaged between events, such as: Tabletop Curling : Curling might be one of the quirkiest Olympic sports, but it’s also one of the easiest to re-create at home. Use a smooth tabletop as your “ice rink” and slide M&Ms, bottle caps, or coins toward a paper bullseye target. Partners can “sweep” with a (new, unused) toothbrush or mini-broom for an authentic Olympic feel. Marshmallow Biathlon : Forget skis and rifles. This indoor version of a biathlon relies on the ability to maneuver around obstacles while balancing a marshmallow on a small spoon. Set up a short obstacle course with dining chairs or cones. Then end with a target practice round where competitors flick marshmallows into mugs or bowls. The fastest, most accurate combo wins. OLYMPIC-INSPIRED ACTIVITIES FOR EVERYONE
Olympic Trivia : Test your guests’ knowledge with an Olympic-themed trivia round. Include fun questions like: Which country has won the most Winter Olympic medals? What year did snowboarding debut? Tip : Remember the Olympic facts you posted around the house during setup? If guests pay attention, they’ll find all the answers they need.
PLAN A CLOSING CEREMONY
The party can’t end without the award ceremony. Wrap up the night with the game, costume, and gambling winners taking the spotlight on a homemade podium. Create some DIY ribbons to pin on the participants, or reward them with foil- wrapped chocolate coins. For keepsakes, send everyone home with Olympic-themed party favors such as torch-shaped cookies or mugs filled with hot cocoa mix. Queue the national anthems and remember the photos!
