Wild Olympics with Sawday’s Canopy & Stars

This summer saw the return of the infamous sporting event The Olympics, this time taking place in Brazil. Fellow enthusiasts of all activities outdoors, Sawday’s Canopy & Stars are back with some Olympic inspired games perfect for your explorers to test out. The games haven’t stopped just yet! These games are perfect for anyone with a sense of adventure! Come young, come old, come professional gymnasts and couch potatoes…the Wild Olympics are for you! Here’s our top three games to get you wilder, muddier and funnier! 1) Wellie Wanging Simply agree a line from which to throw and the winner is the person who wangs their welly further than any other player. All techniques (two-handed, overhead, running dive) are acceptable. The winner is the person who wangs their welly the furthest.

 

2) Marshmallow munching This simple game which tramples stickily all over the Olympic ideal of health and athleticism, is best played in tense silence, with each competitor taking turns to add another marshmallow to their mouth. A Wild Olympic medal goes to the person who can fit the most marshmallows in their mouth.

3) Woodland Limbo A few dead branches can easily be used to set up the event known originally known as the Can't High Jump. Each competitor gets three atempts to travel face first, on their feet, under the bar at the first height. The bar is then lowered and anyone who cleared the first height has three goes at the new one. The lowest limbo-er wins this exceptional sport.
