About the project.

The project is about sharing traditional games of each partner’s countries.

Students of every school will create a data collection of games.

They will share them with their partners ,giving information ,learning rhymes, songs  and performing them. As a second step they will try to play games from other countries.

These games could be played in the classroom but also out of it it (park, street,square..).

 This cooperative project gives many chances for Outdoor Learning , building bridges of friendship and respect among children .

Traditional games unite children ,generations ,people and nations.

As a part of our heritage and a symbol of the cultural diversity of our societies, they are vehicles for transferring values of solidarity, diversity, inclusiveness and cultural awareness Living in a tech-driven world ,changing rapidly, we are going to motivate the students to reap the benefit of the traditional games.
