Olympic Fun

We're studying ancient Greece this week so we took a day to study the Olympics.

I used pepperoni to make the shape of the Olympic rings on a pizza for dinner, but it was hard to see the shape after it was baked. Here's the cake the kids decorated though.

M&Ms used to make the rings

We had our own Olympic games in the backyard.

Some events we did: javelin throw, discus throw, races, long jump, dart throw, and shot put.


Then it was time for the medals.

Such fun! I have fond memories of studying ancient Greece and the Olympics with my kids. Wow, it was 6 years ago!
