Armchair Olympics

Sign up teams of four to compete in a series of off- the-wall “Olympic” events of your design. Teams pay to enter and spectators come to cheer them on (and purchase food and drink!). Tricycle races, inflatable raft paddle, hamster wheel run, sponge toss, frisbee throwing, and more can all be part of a fun, messy afternoon.

Things to Consider

  • You’ll have to come up with original and fun events for participants, especially when considering different ability levels.
  • You’ll also want to make sure you have a large enough space to host everyone, whether it’s outside in a field or indoors in a larger event space.
