I have a sports nut. He loves pretty much every sport. He loves to compete. He races home from the bus every day, he just doesn't know that no one is racing with him. :) My son is also extremely patriotic. He asks for the Star Spangled Banner as one of his nightly bedtime songs. I knew the Olympics would be a huge hit with him, and a great way to show American pride and learn more about other countries around the world.
To celebrate the the Olympic event I hung a huge world map in our hallway. And then I spiced up our experience with some vinyl. I cut colored rings to recreate the Olympic rings on my wall. Next I cut two large circles out of dry erase vinyl. On those I added lettering so that we could keep track of the USA medal count (gold, silver, and bronze) and the list of the top five medalling countries.
