Backyard Olympics Host Kit

Everything you need to run a real backyard olympics in an afternoon: a schedule to plan your events, medal cards to hand out, and station signs to tape up around the yard. Print it all, set up your stations, and let the games begin.

FROM THE COMMISSIONER // HOW TO RUN IT

Pick four to six games, set each one up as a station with its sign, and send small teams around the yard on a timer. Tally points per event, then hand out gold, silver and bronze at the end. Keep heats short so everyone keeps moving.

Station signs

Each sign prints on its own page. Tape one up at every station so players know the game and how it scores.

Station 01 Cornhole Toss bags at the board. In the hole is 3, on the board is 1.
Station 02 Ladder Ball Toss the bolas at the ladder. Top rung 3, middle 2, bottom 1.
Station 03 Bocce Roll your balls closest to the little pallino ball. Closest wins the end.
Station 04 Ring Toss Land rings over the pegs. Closest peg or center peg scores most.
Station 05 Sack Race Both feet in the sack, hop to the line and back. First home wins the heat.
Station 06 Tug of War Two teams, one rope. Pull the center marker past your line to win.
