Students decided in the English class which sports they would work and they chose tug of war, "sokatira", cob gathering" lokotx biltzea", weight carrying "txingak eramatea" and sack carrying " saku lasterketa". Their choice was because they were very popular and they could be seen in any local festivity. Besides, the materials which were needed to practise them were at hand. They were easy to understand and perform by the Greek studensts.To finish, they were fun to be able to compete both schools.
In the P.E class, the teacher also told them the type of materials needed and the instructions how to perform them step by step.
After the sports were explained by PE teacher. In the English class students created tutorials related to both sports. Each group worked one sport.
Students prepared the script for their tutorials, including the materials and the rules.
They also summarised the origin of the sport in a short sentence. They taught our Greek partners how to play them so that they could learn to play them, because in the virtual mobility C5 in May 2021 we played the games in both countries.
We chose two samples of each sport.
Tug of war
Weight carrying
Corn cob gathering
In the International Basque Day, students of 3DBH took part and competed .

Once Elexalde students learnt all the rules related to the Greek game "mila" presented by the Greek students and saw the videos about it .They played it in the Physical education class.
It is important to add this activity which was carried out by students of 4 DBH during the extension of the project 2020-21.
Basque students of 4DBH created kahoots related to Greek sports. They first saw all the videos and visited eTwinning page where the activities were uploaded. Then they created their kahoots, presented the rules to the whole class and played kahoots.
All the videos are on the section extension of the project in this eTwinning space and the kahoots are avaiable to be played .

Title of the activity: Traditional Greek sports (P7)
Objective: The objective of this activity is to discover the most popular Greek traditional sports and then demonstrate them to our Basque partners.
November was the month of sports, so we thought it would be a good idea to devote it to Ancient Greece and the Olympic Games, as this is our heritage in the athletic field. We had the students trained in three sports which belong to the past and the present, the Marathon, the shot put and the javelin throwing preserving thus the bond between Ancient and Modern Greece.
As Olympus, the mountain of the gods, was their home, we organised the Marathon exactly as it occurred in ancient times. The students recited the oath, ran 2km and at the end the winners were crowned with an olive wreath. Chilly weather wasn't an impediment as the spirit of our ancestors warmed our hearts. After that, we moved to the stadiun of our town to perform some shots in the other two sports.
Here you can see the Greek team riciting the Olympic Anthem at the foot of Mt. Olympus.
You can learn more about the Shot Put by watching the video below.
As for the games, we chose to play two traditional games, "tzami" and "mila". Do you want to learn how to play them? You can follow the dots in the interactive pictures below and learn about the rules of each game, the materials needed and also watch a video of the Greek team demonstrating how each game is played.
The whole activity ended with the recording of the Olympic Anthem by the school choir.
The benefits a lot: Revival of the Olympic Spirit, participation, collaboration, the feeling of belonging to a group, the pleasure of the game, laughs and satisfaction.
