Make Olympic Decorations

Create party decorations like banners, flags, and streamers to fit the Olympic theme. Let kids go wild with poster boards, markers, stickers, and glitter (if you’re brave). You can even make your own Olympic torch with this tutorial from Fun Family Crafts. Getty

Sip Olympic-Themed Drinks

As you cheer on Team USA, enjoy a red, white, and blue drink to show your team spirit. Layered bomb pop shots are a fun choice for adults, and kids will love a red, white, and blueberry milkshake . Shutterstock

Have An Opening Ceremony

Serve Winter Olympics Snacks

Set Up Your Own Games

Relive Past Olympic Moments

Watching the 2022 games at your party is a no-brainer, but during commercials, you can play old Olympic clips from YouTube. Reminisce about Shaun White’s gold medal halfpipe from 2010 or watch Surya Bonaly’s iconic (yet illegal) backflip from 1998. ERIC FEFERBERG/AFP/Getty Images
