Games for summer olympics

Try using the same basic premise for Paper Shot Put. Crumble up about a dozen or so balls of paper , preferably non-sensitive papers that were about to be recycled anyway. Then, put a line of masking tape on the floor, and set a trash bin about 10 feet away from the tape line on the floor. Each contestant has to stand behind the line and spin around at least twice before throwing the paper ball mid-spin. Each player should be given three chances to make the shot.

The player with the most successful shots by the end of the first round wins. If more than one player is tied by the end of the first round, start a sudden death round where two players at a time have to compete head-to-head. Instead, find a long hallway or open space with minimal furniture or other obstacles. Then, have two people at a time sit in rolling office chairs.

The two have to race to the finish line which can be marked with masking tape or a long piece of string held by two separate employees without getting up from their chairs. They can move forward or backward in the chair and cannot use their chair or their hands to push the other competitor out of the way or slow them down. The one who makes it to the finish line first wins. This is a classic icebreaker game you may have played before.

And unlike the other Office Olympics events, the whole team here has to win or lose together. Direct the next pair of bookends to the other team, and alternate until everyone is accounted for. If your clan skews more artistic than athletic, make designing a uniform your first contest. Give each team the same plain white T-shirts, plus fabric markers or paint, glue, and colorful add-ons felt, feathers, whatever you have stashed in your crafts closet , and have them trick out the tops according to a team theme.

Otherwise, just distribute color-coded tees, wristbands, or knee socks—or all of the above. How to play: First, paint a straight, even stripe on a flat section of lawn to stand in for a balance beam. A standard gymnastics beam is four inches wide by 16 feet long, if you're feeling fastidious.

Then challenge team members to perform a series of increasingly difficult maneuvers without straying from the stripe: walking backward; hopping on one foot; and doing cartwheels. What you need: A croquet set and a length of dark-colored, opaque fabric to use as a blindfold.

How to play: Fun fact: Croquet made its Olympic debut at the Paris Games and never got invited back. In this twist on the classic, one team member must complete the course blindfolded, using only vocal cues from a single team member to guide him—which puts as much emphasis on communication and cooperation as on sheer mallet-wielding skill. How to play : Each team selects one member to compete in a crab-walk race—like a reverse crawl, on your hands and feet with your stomach facing up—from one side of the yard to the other and then back again.

What you need: A pack of water balloons and a half-dozen position markers sand pails, large stones, or driftwood would work. How to play: A water-balloon relay is just as tricky as the old egg-in-spoon relay race you grew up with, only less messy—or wasteful. If you're able to do this on the beach, running in sand adds an extra challenge. Mark handoff points about 30 feet apart and position runners at each. The first team to make three successful balloon transfers and cross the finish line—balloon intact—wins.

Tip: Try using biodegradable water balloons, in case one of the remnants gets buried before you have a chance to collect them. To decorate with flags , sports , and maps. If you are trying to improve cross-team relationships in your contact centre, it can help to give 2 teams the same country to support and gain points for. This should give them a fun excuse to get to know each other better.

Set up a fun photo booth in your contact centre for a bit of Olympic-themed silliness. This could feature a backdrop of the host country, some fun celebrity masks, a podium and some medals. You can also invite your agents to come in in fancy dress for photo day. If you are low on budget, ask around the contact centre to find an agent who has a keen interest in photography… Then let the posing begin!

Handing out quizzes featuring the names of famous Olympic celebrities and host countries is another way to keep agents in the Olympic spirit during their shifts. This can test general knowledge and also include picture rounds and crosswords — with daily spot prizes for the winners. Each day, the organiser will need to post a series of clues onto the Facebook page hinting at the identity of an Olympic celebrity. The first person to guess is awarded a spot prize, or points towards a wider Olympic-themed competition.

The organiser will need to choose one celebrity per day. You can add an extra layer of difficulty by reducing the number of clues given each day and increasing the standing of the prize. Run a competition for the duration of the Olympics — this can be focused on anything from best attendance to highest sales.

In fact, we already know the host cities for the next few upcoming Games with the exception of the Winter Olympics which is still being decided check out the full list below. It has been years since Paris last hosted the Games in and in it will become the second city to host the Summer Olympic Games three times London. Surfing, which made its Olympic debut at the Tokyo Games, will be contested at the Paris Olympics, however, it will take place approximately 9, miles away on the French Polynesian island of Tahiti.

Additionally, it will be the first time that the Games are returning to a traditional European site in 20 years. Where are the upcoming Olympic Games?
