Fun Olympic
party game ideas:
Any game that
lots of people can easily play will do, from timeless classics
such as Musical Chairs and passing the balloon between the knees
to more serious Tug-of-War, but remember, this is an Olympic
themed party and as such we think the games should be of a
sporting nature reflecting the glory of the Olympic tradition -
with this in mind we think you'll like our unique party game
suggestions...
Shot
Putt - take one of our plastic
Balls and Chain and simply remove the chain and leg strap
from the ball and you instantly have a very heavy authentic
looking Shot putt that is in actual fact very light and easy to
throw. Make a real display of weighing it up as if it were heavy. Mark out a ring in your
play arena to throw from and keep a tape measure handy plus some
pegs with name flags on them to measure and mark where
people's shot lands.
Fencing
- another noble Olympic sport. To create your own tongue in
cheek fencing competition, you'll need some of our flexi-foam
sword cutlasses - somewhat more chunky than a traditional
fencing epee, but just as much fun and not half as dangerous.
Make simple bibs with a X on them for each player and then count
the number of time the X is touch within a 1 minute round. Pop
on a white
satin face mask for effect and 'En garde!' the fence-off
begins.
Hammer
Throw - more athletics fun with a novel turn on the hammer
throw - you can either be very literal and use our inflatable
hammer for throwing - whirl it over your head and release
in the right direction. Or you can use your ball
and chain again, this time keeping the chain and leg strap
attached - hold onto the leg strap, spin a few times and let
go in the right direction again - the winner is the person who
gets the item furthest.
Gymnastics
- become a rhythmic gymnast with the use of this fun tinsel
baton twirler and inflatable
globe - give everyone a go at doing their own 1 minute
routine with the baton and globe. Forward rolls and jumps in the
air are a must - but can you do that as well as catching the
globe and twirling the baton? No doubt many of your guests will
be relieved to hear that lycra leotards are not compulsory.
Speed
walking event - if you've got a big garden hold your own
short distance Speed Walking event - bound to get everybody
giggling, the funny exaggerated swaying motion is the only way
to get ahead of your fellow competitors - remember, any running means instant disqualification! Make it harder by adding
an obstacle course or making the competitors walk
the invisible dog.
Shooting
- test your Olympic party guests' hand-to-eye coordination
and accuracy with a shooting competition - no bullets required
with our great Pop
Shotz gun - create your own target and give everyone 3
goes in each round to hit the bulls eye. The rubber sucker fired
by this fun gun will travel up to 55ft.
There
are all sorts of other games you can play using the Olympic
principles of higher, further, longer, stronger: Just use
your imagination.but most of all have fun and make sure
everyone gets a little prize of some kind!
