"GO USA" was cut from white cardstock using the Cricut, then I hand drew stars and strips on them. I added some bling to the stars and stripes with stickles. (My 7 year old daughter is CRAZY about stickles!)
We are tracking only the medals that we watch the USA win. So far, USA has won 17 medals, but we only have 15 on our chart. The goal is to encourage the kids to take an interest in the Olympics! So when they see the USA win, they get to add a sticker to the chart. To up the ante... we've given them a money incentive, too. Each gold medal on our chart is worth 25 cents, each silver 10 cents, and each bronze is 5 cents. The stars may have been enough incentive, but adding money to it has really gotten them interested in watching the USA at the Olympics!
We are using stars to represent the medals - gold, solver and white (bronze). We purchased these in the kids craft area at Walmart.
Happy craftin' and GO USA!
