Hey there, little champs! Did you enjoy our thrilling journey of sports and fun? Let’s take a trip down memory lane and revisit our Sports Day, where we celebrated not just the joy of running and playing, but also the beautiful diversity of cultures around us through some fantastic races! All sections of Nursery and Kindergarten participated in the fusion of cultural sports week “Jashan e Saqafat” held on Friday 23rd February, 2024 according to their respective slots. Parents were invited to witness the memorable cultural presentations on the sports day. This cultural sports day had a touch of all the cultural games that have disappeared over time.
Langri Pala Race:
First up was the Langri Pala Race! This race was all about balance and coordination. In this traditional Indian game, participants hopped on one leg while trying to catch others or avoid being caught. It was a test of agility and quick thinking!
Chatti Race:
Next, we rolled into the Chatti Race! Originating from Bangladesh, this race involved rolling a small pot or ‘chatti’ with a stick. It wasn’t just about speed but also precision and control. Who would be the first to reach the finish line without dropping their chatti?
Pitho Garam Race:
Then, we spiced things up with the Pitho Garam Race! This traditional game was a delightful blend of tag and musical chairs. Participants ran on the track with obstacles of pots (‘pitho’) while music played. They had to quickly hit a pot with a ball and run back. It was hilarious watching everyone scramble to secure their spot!
Sanp Seerhi Race:
Slithering into our next race was the Sanp Seerhi Race! In this Pakistani game, participants had to navigate a ladder (‘seerhi’) without touching the ground, pretending to be snakes (‘sanp’). It was a hilarious test of balance and flexibility!
Stapoo Race:
Last but not least, we hopped into the Stapoo Race! Stapoo, also known as hopscotch, is a beloved game played in various cultures around the world. Participants hopped through a series of squares drawn on the ground, picking up a marker (‘stapoo’) along the way. It was a classic game of skill and strategy!
The sports started with the sizzling performance by girls and ended with the energetic and power pack presentation by boys of kindergarten.
As you can see, each of these races brought with it a rich cultural heritage and a whole lot of fun. So, we laced up our sneakers, gathered our friends, and celebrated the spirit of unity in diversity through sports and games! Parents were also given a chance to participate in the races and show some skills. Mothers volunteered for the Chatti race and fathers teamed up for tug of war.
Remember, it wasn’t about who won or lost, but about the joy of playing together and learning from one another. So, we cheered each other on, embraced our differences, and made wonderful memories together on that special Sports Day!
Are you ready to race towards a world of cultural fusion and friendship again? Let’s relive those amazing moments and cherish the memories we made together!
