Sportsfest at Billy's school

Yesterday, we went to Billy's school (Wondang Elementary School) to see him participate in their yearly sportsfest games. Since the school had a few students (less than 10 kids per grade, unlike Jai's previous school that had 30 kids in a class with several sections per grade), the games are mostly parlour games and group games. The entire school was divided into two team, Billy was on the ChungBan team. I forgot the other team's name.


Before all the activities began, Billy and all the kids had to do calistenics. Their teachers joined in with them.


All schools play this generic recording of a guy counting off the exercise moves to a march-like song. The tune is very catchy and the guy sounds like a military general counting off the moves.


Sometimes, I hear this recording played in supermarkets and I resist the urge to do jumping jacks and sit-ups. LOL




Here's Billy waiting for his turn in the 10-meter dash.


And off they go! Billy ran with three girls and was last when they started running. He overtook one girl and came in second at the last minute. He got a 2nd place stamp on his arm for that (which means he gets a prize later).


Next we had the long balloon relay. Groups of 3 would take this long balloon tube, run around a marker and come back to hand it to another group of 3.


Imagine my surprise when all the moms and dads were called in to join the fun. :) I asked Bill to take our pictures. You see me here with a yellow cap and a red tee-shirt.


Run Babylove run! Hubby took a video of me running with another mom with the balloon. WE won this game!


Next game was a relay where 6 people would stick one of their foot into a plastic holder and they were suppose to run at the same time. Here's Billy finishing with 5 other kids.


Here are the mom's turn. We tried our best but we didn't win this round. We played several more games like trying to make a huge balloon with this basketball size bed sheet. Or trying to get more color cards turn into our color by flipping them over (the team tries to flip them into their color). Another game was fighting over 5 seats and which team sits on most seats first.

Then we had to leave after lunch because hubby and I had teaching jobs at 2:00pm. It was a great day, even though we only got to be there for half of it.
