Have you ever had so much fun in one day that you didn’t think you would wake up the next morning because of fun overload? No?... then you need to get some new friends. I, fortunately, experienced that euphoric feeling last weekend at the 3rd Annual Backyard Beer Olympics in Charleston, South Carolina. The home-made day of drinking and obstacle games came to fruition two years ago to celebrate my dear friend’s birthday and it has now become an annual tradition. This year I made the pilgrimage to Charleston to experience the excitement first hand for the first time. I flew in that scorching Saturday morning and joined 40+ other hooligans at the house of the birthday girl, Catherine. The recycling bin was empty, the music was mellow, the temperature was hotter than hell, and there was a calm atmosphere amongst the crowd. Oh, how a few hours of Beer Olympics can change everything. Step one of Beer Olympics was drawing teams. Everyone’s name went into a bowl and twenty teams of two were drawn. Watching Catherine draw name by name caused more excitement than watching the ping pong balls drop for the NBA Lottery. With the teams drawn and the Olympic flame lit, it was game time. There were ten events and ten rounds. Marcus the Mastermind created an event spread sheet (that took more brain power than a Harvard law degree) so that each team knew where to be during each round. The start of each round was indicated by the blow of a duck whistle, which I know had to be heard at least 30 miles away... and caused me to jump ten feet in the air each time. Here is a run-down of the 10 Backyard Beer Olympic games: **The ice tray game (we need to come up with more creative names for these games next year). Each person gets an ice tray full of beer and a straw. The first team to finish sucking all the beer out of their ice tray wins. Side note: the non-beer-drinker who chose to use vodka & water instead of beer (my opponent) was at an unfair advantage because that goes down much smoother than thick, foamy beer... however, I’m sure she was the one at a disadvantage about thirty minutes later. **Three-legged race. This was just like elementary school field day, except with strategy fueled by beer. Shoes or no shoes... inside or outside leg first (note to my partner Frankie, “left leg first” DOES NOT WORK)... turn around inside or outside of the cone... to dive or not dive at the finish line. So many tactics to consider... but sometimes no matter how hard you train and prepare, you still end up like this while the team wearing butterfly wings celebrates: **Dizzy bat. Next year, we may have to have people sign a waiver for this game. It is dangerous. Yet, hilarious. While wearing a helmet, the batter chugs a beer, spins around five times with their head on a bat, then takes off running fifty feet and back, only to then hand off the helmet and bat to their teammate. This game got a little competitive at times... and why weren’t Joel and Adam wearing helmets... SAFETY FIRST GUYS! Dizzy bat did cause a few minor injuries this year... exhibit A shown below documents the injuries that occurred when the defendant ran into the wooden fence ten feet away. Didn't we have a personal injury lawyer present? But the following video is pure gold and is reason #1 why dizzy bat will forever be a sport in the Beer Olympics. *Beersbee. This game was not fun because I can’t catch a frisbee. Let me set the stage... there were two white polls in the ground set about fifty feet apart, with a beer bottle on top of each pole. The goal was to hit the pole with a frisbee and knock the bottle off the pole. You got one point if the other team didn’t catch the frisbee. You got two points if your frisbee hit the other team's pole and knocked off their beer bottle. You got three points if the other team knocked off your beer bottle and you were able to catch the bottle before it hit the ground. First team to 21 points wins. This game required coordination and fast reflexes, which I have neither, thus I did not like this game. Moving on. *Egg toss. Please tell me I don’t have to explain this one. Simple game, but the only caveat was that you had to hold your drink the entire time while playing this game. I may be the best egg-toss player ever who can drop the egg on every catch, yet drop it so gracefully and with such a gentle touch that the egg doesn't break. Skills. *Plunger beer walk. There were no rules to this game because every team made up their own rules, but the overall gist was to balance a cup of beer (we ended up using water because we didn’t want to waste the beer!) inside of a toilet plunger while racing back and forth. I didn’t ask this at the time, but I really hope those plungers were bought new that day and didn’t come from the master bathroom. *Can-jam. Once again, another game I didn’t like because it used a frisbee. And once again, you got varying amounts of points by doing various circus acts to get the frisbee inside of this can-looking-thing. Not a fan. *Corn hole. *Red-neck golf. Another tailgating favorite. A foot-long piece of string with a golf ball on each end is thrown at rows of bars with different heights. Wrapping the string around a bar gets you points, and the higher the bar, the more points you get. Once again, first to 21 wins. Now, problems arose when the throw was too high and the string attached to golf balls landed in the tree limbs. Smart option number one would be to get a ladder. Smart option number two would be to use a long stick. Smart option number three, well, I don’t have another option but I’m sure I can come up with something safer than the following. I am still in awe that two strong, manly boys could drop tiny little Erica while lifting her up into the tree. I’m even more in awe that there were two other boys standing nearby and neither of them were spotting her (cheerleading 101, people!). *Beer pong. I don’t need to explain the rules. But my partner, Frankie, and I faced team Shake-n-Bake during this round. And I was beyond a horrible partner for this game. I didn’t hit one cup, and thus we lost. (Side note: picture below is of Annmarie and not team Shake-n-Bake. I chose to use the picture of Annmarie because she is easier on the eyes.) *Championship round. The top ten teams with the best overall record moved on to the championship round. The other ten teams went home. Ok, they didn’t go home... they just started drinking more. Frankie and I made the championship round with our 7-3 record (losing only in ice tray, three-legged race, and beer pong). We had a two-round bye, and our first game was a rematch in beer pong with Shake-n-Bake. I rubbed down my throwing arm and did a few stretches to get loose... I couldn’t embarrass myself again. This time I hit a few cups, catching Shake-n-Bake by surprise. Frankie and I won in a close match, upsetting the tournament favorites and sending team Shake-n-Bake home to cry in their beer. They were overly confident prior to our match... maybe they should have been more focused instead of taking pictures and signing autographs for fans. As the championship round continued, the rain started. The two final teams battled it out in a game of corn-hole... this game was for all the marbles. At one point it was monsooning so hard with flash flood warnings, yet I have never seen so much concentration in trying to throw a bag of corn onto a board. Meanwhile, the losing teams were huddled under a tent playing flip cup and staying dry. It was Team Kentucky versus Team Everyone Else. Team Kentucky dominated flip cup just like we do a basketball court. After the most intense hour long game of corn-hole I’ve ever seen, Catherine, the host and birthday girl, and her teammie Josh won in dramatic fashion. It was Catherine’s first championship win in the Beer Olympics and I’m sure she’s looking to repeat again next year. *At some point during the day, the boys thought they weren’t drinking enough beer and decided to shot-gun. *Hours after the games, no one was ready to go home. With the Jambox blaring someone’s playlist on shuffle, the full version of the Harlem Shake song was a surprise. And then the wheels started turning in Emily’s head: we are going to do our own version of the Harlem Shake. It's our party, we can do what we want. We are so turnt up here... getting turnt up here... and here is the final product of a day of Beer Olympics. (I spy a man sitting on the corn hole board with his pants down, a girl busting ass on the corn hole board, a girl wake boarding in the back, a UK flag, a weed eater, a vacuum, two plungers, and a bicycle.) *We started the day with an empty 95 gallon recycling trash can. At one point during the day the recycling bin became so full that someone had to stand in the bin to smoosh down all the cans and bottles to make room for more. Here is the recycling bin the day after. *The 3rd Annual Backyard Beer Olympics was nothing shy of amazing. It has now been added to my yearly holidays, alongside Christmas, Easter, and my birthday. I will start my training for next year’s Olympics this fall during football season because "it takes lots of beers to play the way I do." Can't wait to see y'all again next year :)

SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES GRAPHING SPORTS RIO *Note: this is basically the same unit as Winter Olympics: Graphing the Game (but adapted for the Summer Olympics) A great way to enjoy the Olympic Games and work on reading and creating graphs! Included in this Olympic-themed unit is a bar graph, triple bar graph, pictograph and table. Students will need to represent and interpret data in relation to the Summer Olympic Games! A fun way to prepare for standardized tests. Feel free to use these with your classes as you see fit! Here are a few ideas to help you get started! •The Summer Olympic Games: Medal Count—Graph the medals each day during the Olympics. I provided two different graphs (one triple bar graph—graphing gold, silver, and bronze medals won by various countries, and one bar graph—graphing the total medal count for various countries). Use one or both! •The Summer Olympics Through the Years—Give students the table, discuss, and have them answer the comprehension questions by using the information from the graph. •Trampolining—Allow students a chance to use a pictograph to answer questions about this lesser-known sport. Thanks! I hope you check out more of my materials at A World of Wonder! -Nicole

[I'm jumping a little out of order with my blog posts, but with the real Summer Olympics so close (and some requests about our event from interested planners), I'm going to dive right into the crazy of our Studer's Invitational Beer Olympics]. This was our fourth year of the Beer Olympics and with each year it continues to get easier, as most of our participants are Beer Olympic veterans and we have quite an accumulation of b.o. (hah) equipment on stock. So planning for this year's event generally starts about a month out thinking about t-shirt design and facebook invitation, etc. We cap our participant slots at 36 so that we don't have more than 8 teams of 4...anything more than that seems to get a little too out of hand. Some of the preparations include ordering tshirts, writing up & printing out 'official game rules,' and printing off waivers. For more information about some helpful planning and CYA tips - visit this post I did last year. The day usually rolls out the same way - we have everyone sign in and complete the waiver. They pick up their tshirt and make their donation (donation fee of $30 goes towards cost of beer, tshirt, and a donation to our charity for that year - this year $226 was raised to benefit Miss Tay). Then it is a short game of sloshball (aka kickball, but with beer) while we figure out the team assignments. The only team that remains the same from last year is our previous champs (reigning 2 year champs!) Team Potter (face paint = lightening bolt on their forehead). Everyone else is divided onto teams of 3-4 and given a team name and corresponding face paint. The day is made up of 9 events with a planned intermission after event #5. Each event has 'official rules' in a binder that the refs carry around. Nobody nitpicks more than someone who's been drinking - so we have our rules ready at hand if we get a whiner. Our first event is always a beer pong tournament, it seems to be a nice way to ease into the day and it gives teammates an opportunity to slide into alliances with each other. Event 2 is the Dingbat relay because it picks up the pace of the day and is hilarious. Event 3 was new this year - the Ice Cube Tray Canoe Races Event 4 was also a new game this year - Slippy Cup (thank you pinterest for the idea). Our slip&slide was an old pool cover loaned to us from Brandon's parents and a sprinkler hose borrowed from my parents! Event 5 is the Anchorman it is always the last event before intermission. For some reason we never have pictures from it. Then comes a break time when everyone has a chance to load up on water and fill up their bellies with carbs. Event 6 is Flip Cup because its another good game to ease back into the drinking after the break. Event 7 is one of our favorites - Beer Bong Races (or Quadbongs). My dad in law crafted up some quad bongs using PVC pipe and some tubing for our first beer olympics and they've made an appearance every year since then. Event 8 is our Beer Duel. I had to run to the beer distributor last minute to pick up a keg pump (oops! we almost ran out of co2) and as official photographer for the day- we didn't get any pics from this event. Before the final event we offer a chance for Pound off challenges which is just really a chugging contest between teams. The faster chugger gets an automatic 5 points for their team score. Event 9 is our Booze Cruise obstacle course which is always hilarious. It has the most weight in points and is the last ditch effort to move your team's score before the awards ceremony. ...Speaking of awards ceremony, before we announce the team scores and places - we hand out awards and sashes to participants that dazzled us (the refs and observers) with their efforts, enthusiasm, or antics during the course of the day. We give awards for things like "Weeble" (weebles wobble but they don't fall down!), "Shark" (someone who doesn't look like a drinker but does awesome), "Clutch" (someone who comes through for their team when they really need it), and "Charlie Sheen" (someone who says the most ridiculous comments throughout the day). Our two biggest awards are the "Rookie of the Year" and "MVD: Most Valuable Drinker." Oh, and Booboo wins an award every year - for no other reasons but nepotism and because it makes him proud. He won the "snake body" award...which means nothing - he's just into snakes right now and anything snake shaped he calls snake bodies. he's the funniest. And I'm the best mom ever because I allow my child to wear underpants at our super official awards ceremony. #parentingfail At the end of the day, only one team can win though - and after 2 years of the same champs, we finally have a new champion team! The 2012 Studer's Invitational Beer Olympics Champs were the Buccaneers! Our beer Olympic champs are the lucky recipients of receiving the first swigs from Das Boot, their names on a plaque for our boot trophy stand, and the satisfaction of knowing they outdrank all other teams...at least until next year:) I want to publicly thank all our participants for agreeing to wear face & hair paint in the blistering heat this year to raise money for a little girl who needs it. You guys are awesome for following directions, displaying sportsmanship (even if you're 6 drinks in), and recognizing at the end of the day its about kindness and generosity. I also want to thank my awesome refs and volunteers this year (that means you - Mum, Lea, Kayla S, Stacy, Becky, and Joe) for helping me keep it all together. Without you all of you, we would never be able to fulfill these dreams we have - no matter how wacky or crazy they may be. Honestly, thank you - we love you. --------------------------------------------------------------- If you were looking closely at the pictures, you may have noticed some things that looked strange. Since we were getting into a routine after 3 Beer Olympics- we decided to switch up the games this year by placing a surprise 'handicap' on each event. Before each event, the teams would decide which teammate would take the 'handicap.' Then the refs would announce the penalty the teammate would need to endure for that game. It just made it a little more fun..while funny at least. Our 'handicaps' included: beer pong - taping the three middle fingers of the shooting hand together dingbat relay - taking a shot of beer at the turnaround ice cube tray canoe races - cocktail straw instead of a drinking straw slippy cup - wear & keep on toe separators anchorman - blindfold flip cup- bind wrists with athletic wrap bong races - wear a knee high over your head (funniest thing on the planet) beer duel - one eye blindfold booze cruise obstacle course - no 'handicap' because at this point in the day - everyone is their own personal handicap - hah. The penalties went off great and everyone was open to trying something new. They offered a little spin on the day and we'll probably continue doing them moving forward - only coming up with new and funny things the participants will have to endure. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you're interested - here are the links to our 'official' game rules. They are organized in the order that we play them. Feel free to change, alter, or use as is. Its all for fun, right? Do I need to put a disclaimer here? Unfortunately-probably. - Team Studer (www.studerteam.blogspot.com or Tabitha and Brandon Studer) is not responsible for anyone's actions after following or using our Beer Olympic rules & guidelines. Each person is responsible for his/her own body and personal decisions. If you decide to use our Beer Olympics rules & guidelines, you are agreeing to take full responsibility for any actions, accidents, or injuries that may be caused due to using them. Don't be stupid- but if you are, it's on you, man.-
