Winter Olympics

[Guest Louie]

Does anyone have some creative, innovative and exciting ideas to celebrate the Winter Olympics? Something other than the same old stuff (bowling, bingo, marshmellow toss)

 

Let's brainstorm and see if we can do something never done before!!!!

We don't actually do a "Winter Olympics" here, but during the first week of February, our town celebrates, "Ole & Lena Days". (Rural Minnesota.) Anyway, that's when we do some of the following events:

 

Lefse Fling -- (pronounced: lefsa - Scandinavian, looks like a tortilla). We use either lefse or tortillas & the resident's toss them. Prizes given for the longest throw.

 

Mitten Match -- We get a bunch of mittens, mix them up in a basket & residents match them up. Quickest time wins a prize.

 

We've also done Ole & Lena jokes, bed pan races, we've done actual snow ball tosses (aiming for a target or farthest throw), & we always end w/ hot chocolate & marshmellows.

 

Hope this helps.
