Here are some pictures from the
Sports Festival at one of my visit schools. This is kind of like Field Day in the states, except way more important to the schools. The kids practice there races for weeks and then there are actual day-long rehearsals for the Sports Festival. Many of the races and competitions are to build class unity. In the first picture girls have to race holding balls in chopsticks. In the second picture they are doing a relay where they have to race in groups of five all walking on the same two boards. In the third picture, the whole class is jumping rope, and they are competing to see which class can jump the highest number in a row.
