Here’s a look at some of the food and events we held for the party. The weather was a bit hot – so we decided to cancel some of the events so the kids could just jump in the pool. We had to be flexible with so many kids and such hot temperatures. But everyone had a great time and had nothing but amazing things to say about the whole theme.

Olympic themed invitations for a birthday party.

We started by making all of the kids decorate their own Olympic flags. We bought white bandanas and sharpie markers and sewed one end closed and bought some sticks. We drew the Olympic rings on all the flags, and then let the kids decorate them however they wanted.

A look at the food table…

Oreo Truffles – dipped in red, white and blue chocolate – then arranged to form the American Flag. These went FAST!

The birthday boy’s special cupcake. His new favorite Olympic sport is archery – so we mixed that with his favorite thing, Legos!

Watermelon for the fruit people.

Lots of cupcakes!

Star-Spangled Strawberries.

Once all the flags were decorated, we had a Parade of Nations. The torchbearer was the birthday boy and we made the kids march into Olympic music and then introduced them all to the parents.

Cheetos!

Gold Medal Lollipops – just Golden Oreos on sticks

As you can see, we had a lot of food and a lot of fun!

We had the kids each make their own Olympic flag.  We used the sewing machine to sew up end with enough room for a stick, bought white bandanas and sharpie markers, drew the Olympic rings on each flag and let the kids decorate the rest.

Once those were done, we had them line up and did a Parade of Nations, complete with music and introductions.

After that, game one!

We hosted a Javelin throw – with pool noodles.  They used their flags to mark distance.

We then had an obstacle course around the pool area with fun activities.

We had many poor events planned – like pool noodle swimming, duck hunt with rubber pool duckies and more.  But as mentioned- it was just too hot so open swim!

Then, everyone got their own medal! Click here to learn to make your own!
