8 8 8 is the BIG DAY. Are you ready for it?!
No this is not a SPORTS BLOG….but as a parent, you better be PREPARED for questions that your child is going to ask you. Afterall, they are all over, in TV programs, newspapers, billboards and…even at MacDonalds, there’s no escape.
Ok, so lets prepare for the most basic question first then. What do the 5 Olympic Rings represent? Er…..
- Five Olympic Kiwis
Duh! Not five Kiwis!!! ( Act stupid, your child will go hee-haw!! )
- Five Olympic Donuts??
Olympic Donuts! Tell that to my son and I won’t survive till I bring him to the nearest donut shop!!
- 5 Continents
Yes ….yes, the boring answer is it represents the five continents of the world, while the six colors are those that appear on all the national flags of the world at the present time. (as of 1931).
Play this game with your child, memorise the colors and regurgitate them : Blue, Yellow, Black, Green, Red………Blue, Yellow, Black, Green, Red………Blue, Yellow, Black, Green, Red…..

Did you watch the opening ceremony?
I felt like it wasn’t that good.
hmmm 2004 was better..
Gee Clarisse, I have to differ here. To be honest, I did not watch the Athens opening, but I seriously thought that Beijing put up a spectacular show! It was a great way to tell the Chinese history using great technology and creativity.
