INTRODUCTION I have been in Glasgow for 9 and half months and when I arrived everything was new and exciting for me. The city, the language, people, their customs, the weather, my new High School, colleagues, pupils, my new home, my Landlady. When I arrived I had to look for accommodation, I had to open a bank account, I had register myself with a social security number. At that point the worst was done, I started then to participate in the High School’s daily life, its name is TURNBULL HIGH SCHOOL. I had the opportunity to meet many people. I have joined a hiking group, I participated in a Spanish language meeting group, however most of the people only wanted to learn Spanish and were not interested in any kind of swap. I joined a group which organized different events, one of them, dancing Ceilidh. It was quite amazing in a friendly atmosphere. Of course I enrolled in an English speaking course, in an Upper Intermediate level, in order to improve. I also took part in a BBC recording Games show “One Verses 100”. I have travelled to different places: Stirling, Perth, Edinburgh, Liverpool, London, a tour around Loch Lomond and Loch Ness. I have had the opportunity of travelling around Northern Scotland, visiting Sky Isle, Fort Williams, Inverness, the West Coast. I have gone very often to the movies. Of course I have attended a live football match, and I have watched on TV in a Pub the classical match between Celtic and Rangers. In June I attended the opera “Aida” and the European final football game Barcelona again Manchester. I have also had the opportunity of playing bowl and golf in Victoria Park, a beautiful place in the middle of the city. Apart from this, I worked hard on my Project, I had to source information, but I had difficulties trying to initiate it, above all because I couldn’t find enough bibliography of traditional and popular games in Britain, everything was about Football, Hurling, golf, swimming, Hiking, Basketball, Badminton etc. In Turnbull High School it is normal practise that pupils pray every day at the beginning of class, then they have to register before starting class. The timetable starts a 9 o’clock but in fact they start class at 9.18, this is the first period, there are 6 periods, at 11.04 is a break of 15’ and from 13.04 to 13.40 it’s lunch time. Classes finish at 15.35. Sometimes I had difficulties integrating myself but I tried to participate in every event including joining the football team. I went to a Halloween party organised by the students. In November I went to see West Side Story with pupils and teachers. In addition I went to the Christmas dinner on 12 th of December. In the High School everyone was indeed very helpful including people who worked in the office, the computer technician and kitchen staff. I had great relationships with the Language Assistants in Spanish and French. Another point that I would like to underline is discipline, there were minor problems, and I would suggest that this aspect be studied by the authorities in Catalonia and Spain because teachers and pupils in Scotland have a better interaction and there is respect in both directions, therefore the atmosphere is very relaxed. Juan Manuel Serrano Sanabria. 3 Traditional and popular games in Great Britain and Catalonia. SPANISH CLASSES EXPERIENCE With regard to my Spanish Classes, I felt very comfortable with the teachers who were very friendly. I have prepared a Power Point on Dead Day, Barcelona, Christmas Day, and Carnival. The Principal Teacher asked me to record some texts, this was a new experience for them. I often gave my opinion upon different topics for example in comparing “city and country”. I have prepared a text on pollution. I have corrected works on different occasions, I have assisted small groups of pupils with oral Spanish language. I have been in classes of AH, S3 and S5. In Advance Higher level, Spanish is an optional subject. At all times pupils showed great motivation and interest in everything related to Spanish culture . In Modern Language Classes, I have had the opportunity to check many details on Spanish vocabulary, resources, methodologies, ways of teaching, etc. In some way, I have done a post graduated course in Spanish Language Teacher. On many occasions I realised that I had lacks in my own language and had to solve doubts. At the same time I was able to improve in computers programs. I have participated in Charity activities, for example, teaching salsa, in 3 rd level to collect money for Colombian children. I have cooked a Spanish omelette for the Spanish Class Teacher, and we had the opportunity to share dinner in a Spanish restaurant. I have brought “cava “and “jamon” to be tasted by teachers in the Staff room. I have directed salsa classes for pupils and teachers as well. P.E CLASSES EXPERIENCE. With regard to my P. E classes, I collaborated with teachers in preparing materials. I have been a referee in a football match, and in this instance I officiated and observed pupils of S1 and S2, from 12 to 13 years. In May and June I lead salsa classes. Back in Spain, I shall have to teach this physical education project to Catalonian students. I have received help and support in all circumstances to prepare this project, however I have to say that the practise of sports and games in Glasgow were not totally related with the project; they were playing Basketball, Badminton, Gymnastics, Football, therefore I had to seek extra-information. Perhaps it would have been more beneficial if I had gone to primary school, where they are still playing traditional and popular games of Scottish origin. Another point, is that they divide classes sometimes by sexes, for example when it is football only boys participate and girls attend dance lessons. With regard to my career experience, I have learnt a lot in P.E classes, I have had the opportunity to observe different teachers and pupils, with similar ages as in my next class in Barcelona. In fact, it is as if I had had a postgraduate course because this Juan Manuel Serrano Sanabria. 4 Traditional and popular games in Great Britain and Catalonia. experience has served to learn corresponding technical vocabulary in English. I have seen many kinds of activities in collective sports, like basketball, netball, badminton, Ceilidh dancing, football, fitness etc. In this field, teachers have collaborated in my project, giving me all the needed information, Scottish programs, books, bibliography, advising me when needed with pupils. They made me participate in activities, therefore, pupils considered me as another teacher and not only as an observer. In respect to implements and material in general, and venues like for changing suits, toilets, gyms, seminar room, storage sport hall... I have to recognize that Scottish authorities invest a lot of money in education: bibs, mats, trampets, balls, sticks, benches, sprinboards, bucks, box-tops, badminton nets, library, records players, computers, videos, toilets. About my relationship with pupils, I have to emphasize that it was very similar with Spain, since I highly exchanged with them, helping them at all times; some had a good level in Spanish. One day that their teacher was missing, I gave the class, they asked me about my hobbies, my life, my career experience, and if I preferred to teach Spanish or P.E. with them. I was able to communicate a lot with them, but the problem was in understanding their Glasgow speaking “Glasgowegian”, an English dialect, even very difficult to be understood by other Britons. TIMETABLE. With regard to my timetable, I have attended 11 Spanish classes and 7 P.E classes. Juan Manuel Serrano Sanabria. 5 Traditional and popular games in Great Britain and Catalonia.

  • Street Soccer
    STREET SOCCER Street soccer, pick-up game, sandlot soccer or a kick-about whatever title you give to the format the idea is to give the game of soccer back to the players. Past generations learned to play the game on their own with other kids in the neighborhood or at school in these kid organized games. Today youth sports are overly adult controlled and influenced. It’s difficult today for youngsters to have a pick-up game since the streets have too many cars, the sandlot now has a mini- mall on it and parents are reluctant, with good cause, to let their child go blocks away from home on Saturday to play in a game on his or her own. Street soccer is a way for soccer clubs to give the game back to the players in the community. Once a week, or whatever frequency fits the circumstances the best, a club can have organized spontaneity. The club will provide the fields and supervision. Adults will be on site for safety and general supervision, but otherwise it is all up to the players to organize the games. The adults should NOT coach, cheer, criticize, referee or in any other way involve themselves in the game. The best bet for parents is to drop off their child, go run some errands, and then come back to pick up your child an hour or two latter. The coaches are on site NOT to coach, but to supervise, be on hand for any serious injuries and any severe discipline problems. Additionally the coaches are there to provide the game equipment and to let the players know when each game segment starts and stops.

  • Class 7 (English) 4. Game on Sec. 1 Hop, Skip and Jump
    Class 7 (English) 4. Game On Sec. 1 Hop, Skip and Jump Summary:- This section is about a street game called Hopscotch in English. This game played on the streets is usually a simple playtime activity that children do in their neighbourhood. This game is played all over India and is known by many names such as stapu, ekhat-dukhat, kith-kith, kunte bille, paandi, tokkudu billa and khane. To play the game, the player draws a grid of 8 squares on the ground with numbers from 1 to 8. The player tosses a marker into the first square and hops till the eighth square. Here the player turns around and hops back till the second square to pick up the marker from the first square and steps out. The player again tosses the marker into the second square and the game continues until all the squares have been played. There are certain rules and variations that add to the fun and difficulty level of the game. A player is considered out if the marker does not land in the right square, touches the borders of the grid or if the player touches the borders accidentally. Hopscotch is not only played in India but it is also a popular game with different names across the world. It is known as laylay in Persian, escargot in French and himmel und holle in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. There is another version of this game called Number Hopscotch. Here there is no need of tossing a marker. All they need is to just keep hopping on one foot without stepping on the wrong square.

  • Send North America: Philadelphia Children’S Games
    Send North America: Philadelphia Children’s Games Let Freedom Ring Items Needed: • Large play area with places to hide • Bell Goal: This game resembles team “Hide and Seek.” The goal of the seeking team is to catch and imprison every member of the hiding team. The goal of the hiding team is not to get caught and if caught, to be freed by a teammate into religious freedom. Play: Gather a minimum of eight people and choose teams. Make sure the teams are even and fair. Choose a spot to be the prison with space to hold everyone on a team and easy ways in and out. Designate a similar area to be religious freedom. Establish boundaries for the hiding area, but make sure they are widespread. Have the hiding team also hide their bell in a safe spot. Decide which team will hide and which team will seek first. The seeking team will cover their eyes and wait 1–2 minutes in the prison. While the seeking team is counting or waiting, the hiding team will scatter and hide within the boundaries. When the seeking team is finished counting, they will all run out and search for hiding play- ers. If they find a hidden player they have to catch him or her, but the hiding player is al- lowed to run. To catch the hiding player, they must hold on to the player and say, “1-2-3, you are my prisoner!” When caught, the hiding players must walk to prison. The only way for them to get out is to be rescued by someone else on their team or for a player of the hiding team who has not been sent to prison to ring the bell and yell, “Let freedom ring!” At that point everyone in the prison is then set free and can enter religious freedom.

  • Traditional Games in the Philippines
    Traditional games in the Philippines These are games commonly played by children, usually using native materials or instruments. In the Philippines, due to limited resources of toys of Filipino children, they usually come up on inventing games without the need of anything but the players themselves. With the flexibility of a real human to think and act makes the game more interesting and challenging. Because it is a tradition for Filipinos to play in a bigger and spacious area, most games are usually played outside the house. Some games are played or held during town fiestas in the provinces. These games of Filipino children include the following: Agawan Base There are two teams with two bases. How many players on each team depends on the players. There are two bases which each team claims as their own. The goal is to tag the other team's base without getting tagged. If you're tagged, you're transferred to the other team and must be rescued. There are several variations in which the rules are changed, in some, you can connect other items on the base so you can easily touch the base.There are usually set points, such as first team to tag the other team 5 times wins. You can tag other people who has touched their base before you and are on the opposite team. If they've touched their base after you've touched your base, they can tag you, and you can't tag them. Agawang sulok - catch and own a corner - The it or tagger stands in the middle of the ground.

    Month of May brings long hot days, And now we have our summer holidays. Little home work, easy to be done, Lots of activities full of fun. Dear Parents, “It’s summer time again! Time to relax, unwind and indulge in fun filled activities.” Children are reservoirs of potential which needs to be tapped and channelized in diverse ways. We at MJKPS feel that it is very important to fire their imagination and foster an outlook that helps them explore and discover. Summer vacation is the best and fruitful time for learning and for nurturing creativity. It is the time when you can connect with your child in many ways. The Holidays Homework designed would not only enhance achievements of your child but also help to enhance family relationships. Let’s stress on building healthy relationships with kids, inculcating good habits, reviving old childhood games. It’s a small effort from our end to facilitate as well as fulfill these objectives together: Building Social Skills 1. Educate your child to avoid wasting food. Teach them to take smaller portions instead of over loading their plates with food. 2. Foster gratitude in your child by educating them about the dignity of labour. Provide them with the opportunities to do their chores on their own. 3. Get involved with your child in non-fire cooking at home under your supervision. 4. Encourage them to interview their grandparents/neighbours to develop their social/emotional skills. Spending More Time Together 5. Practice your origami skills and make objects to hang from the ceiling. 6.
