Skylanders and #RioOlympics2016

CYOS Opening Ceremony Torch

With the Olympic Games begining today the Skylanders are getting into the celebration. They created their own version of the Olympic Torch using the new Skylanders Imaginators character creator. This next version of Skylanders is going to be endless int he possibilities for creation, I cannot wait to play. But, since it comes out in October I do have to wait. While I wait through, there are a some activities that the folks from Skylanders have sent to me to do and also to share with you. First are some fun coloring pages that feature fan favorites like Spyro, Eruptor, Stealth Elf and also newcomer King Pen. King Pen is a new Sensei for Skylanders Imaginators.

You can click on each of the links below to download the coloring pages and also download the Create Your Own Athlete page. For the Create Your Own Athlete Page you can color the shorts and jersey in your country’s colors and then add those to one of the Skylanders of your choosing. Use the Coloring Pages that say 2DV for a picture that works best with the athletic accessories.

In addition to the coloring pages there is another fun promotion going on with Skylanders.

#TrainingFor2020 #Skylanders

Calling all families! Inspired by this year’s games? Skylanders invites you to participate in a global campaign to get kids moving and #TrainingFor2020. We want you to share photos or short videos of your children training for the 2020 summer games. Here’s the challenge: they have to incorporate a Skylanders toy into their training. For example, if they’re doing a pushup, they have to go low enough for their nose to touch a Skylander stationed on the floor. If they’re running a relay with siblings, they can hand off a Skylander instead of a baton. Like Skylanders Imaginators itself, the creative possibilities are endless! Show us what your future athletes are made of as they get inspired by this year’s World Games in Rio!

To participate, please post your photos and videos to Twitter, Instagram or Facebook using #TrainingFor2020 #Skylanders. Please keep videos within 15 seconds. Show us your videos before the closing ceremony on Sunday, August 21st!
