We’re in the final week of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, and there’s been so many incredible moments and, no doubt, there will be more to come. Occasions like this are a great opportunity to tap into the natural excitement of the Olympics and use that to build energy and connection at your next small group gathering. Use one or more of the following questions with your group this week to join in the fun of the Summer Olympics. For even more fun and connection, invite your group watch the Closing Ceremonies together on Sunday and use one or more of these Olympic-themed Recipes.
1. If you could perform in the Olympics, what would you like to do?
2. What country do you feel would make the best host for the next Summer Olympics? Explain.
3. Who’s your favorite Olympic athlete of all time? Why?
4. What is your favorite event to watch at the Olympics?
