Our pupils play traditional games in the playground with the help of their P.E. teachers, Mr Giorgos in Patra and Miss Laura in Caldes de Malavella. Then their partners watch the videos of the games and try to guess the rules!

 

Greek Game 1

Guessing the rules (by Catalan team):

• Number of players: up to 4
• There are 2 teams and a tower of blocks in the middle.
• One team tries to destroy the tower throwing a ball (one at a time)
• The same team that destroys  the tower has to build it again while the other team tries to destroy the tower or "kill" the players. (by Lili, Emma, Naim and Alexis)
• There are unlimited steps
• The winner team is who can build the tower or "kill" all the players of the other team (Albert, Iu, Biel and Maria N.)

​Then, Spanistudents played the Greek game at school!Here's the video:

Spanish Game 1

Geussing the rules by the Greek team E2

They play in a gym (optional)

There is a child in the centre, the hunter. (Yes! We call it 'the spider'(aranya).)

The other children are in one side and they try to get to the other side. The hunter tries to touch the children without leaving the centre line. (Yes!)

When the hunter touches a child, this child becomes a hunter, too, and stands in the centre line. (Yes!)

There are 6 hunters in one line and there are 6 more in a second line. (It depends on the number of hunters.)

The children count to 3 and they try to cross. (When someone takes a long time to cross, the other children count down to 10. In this time, the children have to cross.)

The last child is the winner! (YES!)
