Choose 2-3 20-30 minute activities from the options below:
Indoor Active
Little Compass Olympics! The Olympics is the biggest sports competition in the world. It’s also a really big sports party: the athletes play sports and want to win medals, but they also celebrate getting active, friendship and being together. The first Olympic games took place in Greece, and when it first started a long long time ago it was just one event: a short race with a bunch of men who ran naked! To get active today, choose 2-4 events from the Little Compass Olympics week for some exercise - hold an opening ceremony, then try a solo or team sport, or a challenge from the paralympic events. We don't recommend doing them naked!!
