Play & Learn Through the Summer Olympics
What 2024 Olympic sports will inspire your future athlete: Badminton or breaking? Triathlon or table tennis? Skateboarding or surfing? Families with toddlers and littles (from 1.5 – 5 years old) can find a selection of Olympics-inspired activities in their Sparkler mobile application to help them play along at home as the Olympians compete in Paris.
Inspiration for Your Own Home Olympic Games...
- Home Golf: play cardboard box golf to develop perception skills and persistence
- Sailing! Build (and float) sailboats out of recycled materials to build fine motor and persistence skills
- Rhythmic Gymnastics: Dance with a ribbon or scarf to build pattern & operations skills and gross motor skills
- Balloon Volleyball: Play volleyball with a ballon to build gross motor and persistence skills
- Olympic Ring Art: Create an Olympic-inspired ring sculpture that symbolizes athletes coming together to compete to build small muscle and imagination
- Triathlon: Walk, jump, and run in your own race to build muscles and persistence
- Balance Beam: Pretend to be Olympic gymnasts walking on the balance beam to build perception and big muscles
