(I think they&#8217;ve already started and NBC is airing them on delay. Darn time zones.) For a guy not really into sports, I&#8217;m a big fan of the Olympics. I love that the best table tennis players, rhythmic gymnasts, trampoliners, and archers in the world get together every four years to decide who&#8217;s the best of the best. (As you can tell from that list, I&#8217;m not a big fan of the more mainstream sports. I&#8217;ll watch swimming and gymnastics, but soccer? basketball? boxing? Boring. Those are on TV all the time.)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be watching the opening ceremonies tonight with my girls. In an effort to make the parade of nations a bit more engaging, I&#8217;m giving the girls Olympic Games bingo cards. Every nation has a flag bearer, and every flag bearer has a sport. When you see the sport played by a flag bearer, you mark it on your bingo card. It should be fun! But I&#8217;ve never done this before with the girls, so we&#8217;ll see&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>In case you&#8217;re interested in playing along at home, here&#8217;s a <a href=\"http:\/\/derekbruff.org\/blogs\/fathertime\/files\/2012\/07\/2012-Olympic-Games-Bingo.pdf\">PDF of the bingo card<\/a> I created, using the official pictograms of the 2012 Olympics. I just made one because Lily can&#8217;t stand to lose. I&#8217;ll give the same card to both girls! Less exciting, but no risk of meltdowns. If you&#8217;d like to rearrange the pictograms to make different cards, <a href=\"http:\/\/derekbruff.org\/blogs\/fathertime\/files\/2012\/07\/2012-Olympic-Games-Bingo.docx\">here&#8217;s the Word document<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The opening ceremonies of the 2012 London Olympics will be broadcast just a few short hours from now.
