The students’ energy was put to the test through the variety of games and activities they played with big smiles. In dodgeball, Grade 1 and 2 students were adorably aggressive in throwing balls at their opponents while actively dodging the attacks on them. A few threw the balls aimlessly, but most of them fired up on getting their opponents out of the game. They also had their own Kids’ Athletics. The students raced in a series of jumping, throwing, and running. 

The tug of war is, undoubtedly, one of the highlights of the event. PYP teachers looked like Olympic coaches when they hyped up their students to pull the rope harder. Responding to such motivation, each batch truly gave all of their strength and showed their teamwork. Rounds of cheers were heard throughout the rounds of games. Hope’s future in basketball is also secured in the hands of the PYP students. It was a mesmerizing sight to see the confident movements of the players inside the court. A few might not fully understand the rules, but their actions showed a natural knack for the game. Meanwhile, in badminton, smash attempts and instinctive drives were made. As the shuttle flew back and forth, determination and delight flickered across the players’ faces. Beside the badminton court, the relay game took place. In this relay game, the students needed to transfer the spoon of water to the cup while coursing through the obstacle trail. The group whose cup contained the most water won.

The students also competed in battles of wits. They played games of chess, Scrabble, Snakes & Ladders, and Jenga. These games brought out focus, strategic thinking  and clever tactics from the students.
