Which disciplines to choose?
You can choose absolutely any discipline. For example, in addition to standard sports disciplines, the following can become Olympic disciplines: twister, arm wrestling, jump rope and hopscotch, as well as tic-tac-toe and sea battle. And if you add a little humor, you can throw brooms at a distance on Halloween or Maslenitsa, shoot from a water pistol at a bowl with a paper boat on Navy and Airborne Forces Day, catch grandma’s slippers with a fishing rod, or pick blackcurrants in the country. Fantasy is limitless!
In the children’s camp that I currently lead, at one of these Olympics, the most popular discipline was “tsu-e-fa” - the most basic children’s fist game of “rock-paper-scissors.” Moreover, to participate in it, young Olympians are not required to have any special skills or talents.
Here's another example: bowling. You may ask: where did we find such a pioneer camp with an equipped bowling alley? Of course, everything is much simpler: we add a little imagination - and ordinary colored plastic pins, paths lined with chalk, a rubber children's ball turned the park into a real bowling alley.
The most important thing is to do everything together with your children! Sometimes children can prepare and organize 99% of the event themselves. And only 1% is support from adults and direction of children’s energy and activity in the right direction, as well as obligatory praise for any action.
