We are sports junkies in this house, so when the games started, I knew that we needed to find a way to make watching hours of sports interesting to E. The first morning of the Olympics, we made a list of all the sports that we would have a chance of seeing over the two plus weeks of the international event.
After we saw an event on TV, E would come over to the refrigerator, grab a sticker, and put it next to the sport. We worked a lot on letter sounds to help her find the sports, making this a great time filler, but also a great phonics activity. Also, each day we would count how many events had stickers by them. This had her practicing counting up through the twenties. We will definitely do this activity in two years for the winter Olympics, and probably each Olympics after (don't tell anyone, but E's parents love this activity just as much as E)!
