[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a family that does family Olympics. Lots of different games or challenges for points and they have a trophy they keep all year. [/quote] Bad idea. The littlest kids are at a disadvantage and don't always lose gracefully. Seems like a recipe for crying, tears, and disappointment. [/quote] Or it's a great way to teach teamwork, not being a sore loser, being a graceful winner, etc. [/quote] This works if the kids all have their strengths and there is some chance any of them could win an "event." Or if they are all team events so you can put the youngest kid with someone stronger and even it out a bit. No child wants to spend Christmas Day losing a series of competitions to their older siblings. They could be the best sport in the world and that would still be a bummer Christmas.[/quote]
