When we were little, my sister, my cousins and I would pretend to ice skate in the basement while we watched the games on television. Of course we weren’t very good, but it was so much fun to pretend we were graceful athletes gliding effortlessly across the ice.
If you and your little girls are as excited about the Olympics as I am, try holding your own indoor ice skating competition this year! At SophiasStyle.com you can find beautiful dance clothes for girls that will look just like a skating costume. Give each contestant 1 minute to perform her routine, and then have Mom, Dad or older siblings award scores (a “perfect 10” for everyone of course!)
At a paper supply store you can even find little plastic gold medals to award to each competitor. Set up couch cushions, a small step stool or other things from around the house as the podium (just make sure everyone gets a chance to step onto it). If you’ve got fake flowers around the house, give them to each competitor. You can even conduct interviews with the winners – just make sure they smile and wave for the camera!
Our girls dancewear and a little creativity is all you need to celebrate the 2010 Winter Olympic Games and plan a fun wintertime activity for your kids. Have fun and go Team USA!
