Answer 2

You could probably look on the internet. Look under different sports for art/craft ideas around them.

I don't know how old the children are but they could have a mini olympics in the childcare centre. They can do things like cycling - riding trikes, athletics - running, walking, jumping etc, rythmic gymnastics - using streamers, and stuff, gymnastics - do things like hand stands, rolls, etc.

Another good thing would be to have paper clippings of different athletes on the walls.

You could also have an opening ceromony.

Answer 3

The center I work at is doing the olympic theme for summer. Each week we talk about a country/make their flag/find it on a map/and then eat a food from that country.

Answer 4

Try checking out hubbardscupboard.org.  There you will find Nursery Rhyme Olympics.  The preschool age kids will love it!

Answer 5

I would google it under Olympics for preschoolers.
