Spirit Supplies for Olympic Cheers

As you, your family, and your friends prepare to watch the 2012 Summer Olympics, stock up on supplies so you can sit back, relax, enjoy the Games, and cheer for Team USA!  Look for spirit supplies, like pom-poms and beads.  Wherever you plan to enjoy the Games, your party space will need decorations, too, that can double as a backdrop for those spirited cheers.

Background Decorations

Look for patriotic paper to hang on your walls as a backdrop.  A personalized banner will also add a nice touch to your decorations; you could personalize it to say “Go Team USA!” and re-use it!  Adding a few decorative columns and streamers will give your cheer wall some flair, too. Try looking for small red, white, and blue cardboard columns and then placing a different centerpiece on each one.

You could also look into hanging metallic stars with streamers draping down from them—it’s a great backdrop that you’ll be able to use for a number of occasions.  Finally, no party decorations are complete without balloons!  Look for some American-flag-shaped Mylar balloons and add red and blue latex to make fun balloon bundles to decorate the area in which you and your friends will be watching the Olympic Games.

Cheer Supplies for the Olympic Games

Americana leis are not only a great party favor, but they could also be a valuable asset as you and your friends come up with fun Olympic cheers.  Pom-poms are a classic cheer supply that you can never have enough of, especially while viewing the Summer Olympic Games.  Noisemakers and whistles will provide added spirit, but be mindful of any children watching the Games with you—they’ll have much more fun with whistles and noisemakers than anyone else in the room.

The types of cheers you and your friends come up with don’t matter quite as much as the reasoning behind the cheers or the enjoyment you and your friends get out of gathering together and making the cheers.  By putting up patriotic decorations and providing friends with fun favors, you’ll be sure to show your American spirit.  Support Team USA in the Summer Olympic Games with your friends, some cheer supplies, and a few spirited cheers!
