SPM24 Physical games
24 mars 2024The pupils get play sport activities. In that way they continue to work on getting to know each other while exercising games together.
This entail working in teams, competing against other teams and having fun while communicating in English/Spanish.
Different activities are proposed: Capture the flag: Each team must enter the other team's playing area and dodge being captured by ducking and diving, then claim the flag and bring it back to their playing area. If you're tagged or captured, stand still like a statue until a teammate frees you with a touch. The team that gets the flag first wins. The classical sports are: Volley ball and Basket Ball.
The traditional games are: jumping on the rope all together, Pair’s races, Tug of war and Dodge ball (Ball of prisoner)
Dodgeball is a team sport in which players have to dodge or catch the balls thrown by their opponents whilst attempting to hit their opponent in the same way. Lot of acrobatics situations are developed to not be touched.
Tug of war (also known as tug o' war, tug war, rope war, rope pulling, or tugging war) is a sport that pits two teams against each other in a test of strength: teams pull on opposite ends of a rope, with the goal being to bring the rope a certain distance in one direction against the force of the opposing team's pull.
Teamwork, listening and speaking in English and Spanish, and developing communication skills and social competence in foreign languages. Socializing with peers from other countries aid understanding, tolerance and openness between different cultures and backgrounds. Overall the ice-breaking activities are the basis for creating connections between the students and the basis for future cooperation and contact. It has been a real success.
