FCCLA Olympics
Objective: To introduce some of the FCCLA National Programs and to introduce basic FCCLA
information.
1. Students will need to be divided into groups. Decide how many groups you would like to
have, depending on the number of students. There are 6 different games that they will
compete in; each team will send one member to participate in each game.
2. Once they are divided into teams, pass out the team worksheets. Frist they must choose a
name for their team.
3. Briefly describe the games and have each team determine who will be their representative
for each game. (Descriptions are on next page.)
4. The scoring will go as follows: 1st place= 10 Points, 2nd Place= 9 Points, etc. You can
adjust scoring depending on the number of teams you have. Some games you will need
to play over and over again to determine who is in 2 nd and 3rd place etc. Each team can
keep track of their scores on their team worksheet.
5. Play upbeat music to get the kids pumped up.
6. There is a place for them to record on their sheet which FCCLA program relates to each
game.
7. Follow up the FCCLA Olympics by showing FCCLA membership video if you have
access to one OR by explaining about FCCLA yourself. (See Top 10 Things to Know
About FCCLA Handout)
8. Introduce your FCCLA Chapter Officers and explain the activities your chapter will be
