Awards
It wouldn’t be the Summer Games without medals. Give them as prizes or hand them out to all the kids to recognize participation. Or use ribbons to recognize the participants. Either way they will be proud to accept their awards.
Decorations
Decorate your space with torch decorations and flags from around the world. Have the kids create colored rings to welcome the participants.
