WORLD GAMES🌍

What will we do?

In this part of the term, we will learn about popular games from around the world. With the help of the English department, we will prepare presentations on different games and play them in class. This will help us develop physical skills like agility, coordination, and endurance while promoting cultural awareness and sensitivity.

Games like Hong-Lui-Ten from China, Mamba from South Africa, and Peteca from Brazil will challenge us in new ways and provide a fun way to learn about different cultures. This unit will be a great opportunity to have fun, learn, and gain a deeper appreciation for different cultures.

In the "Olympic Games", we will play the games that we have learned during the unit. This will give us a chance to demonstrate our skills in these games and compete with our classmates in a fun and friendly atmosphere. The "Olympic Games" will also give us an opportunity to celebrate the different cultures we have learned about and the skills we have developed throughout the unit. Overall, this will be a fun and exciting way to wrap up the unit and showcase our newly acquired skills.
