DD's birthday is in the middle of the Olympics so we're thinking of having an Olympic theme. Any ideas for games?

a traditional school sports day with gold, silver, bronze medals awarded. either each child is a country or they work as a team of 3/4 for a country and try and get the most medals.

have a podium to award medals on; a running leader board etc.

make sure children come in shorts and tshirts rather than dresses.

These stickers are great to give out at such a party. We recently had an "Enjoy a Ball" party so I tied it in a bit with the Olympics but as it was all sports games anyway I didn't have to think up games as such.

Also try to ensure they come in suitable footwear if there will be a lot of running about. Our first guest came in heeled sandals as hadn't read the invite properly. Luckily as they were quite early they had time to go home and change. Other came in shoes without socks and found their shoes rubbed their feet after a while. :-(
If you are doing party bags we bought each guest a football from asda (£1) - to be collected from big box - and cellophane bags (amazon) with sweets. Fruitella do sporty chews, which are quite cool to match the theme.
