Discussing fair play and happiness

  • 10th Primary School of Ilioupolis,2nd grade: What makes me happy at school?

    A discussion took place with the students about what makes them happy at school and the conclusion is this : They feel happy during P.E., while playing games! It was a unanimous dicision.

    Then another issue came up : Are my friends happy while playing with me?

    That made everyone look inside them...

    The students proudly admitted that oftenly they were disregarding the other student's feelings,during their effort to win.This behavior led to conflicts between them and noone was happy anymore...

    So, a few decisions were made by the students that day, in order to keep enjoying P.E.:

    1.Fair play!

    2.Respect everyone!

    3.Don't make fun!

    4.Support each other!

    İstiklal Primary School .What makes me happy at school?  What do we like playing at P.E most?  

    The answer was ball plays. But what if you have just one ball and you should play altogether sharing it ? What would you like to do with it ? Boys suggested football. Girls voleyball. Then after that new ideas came up. Dodgeball! They could find a solution and agreed on a common basis. They chose democratically a game alltogeher, and played happily in turns.
