Challenge 'Koningsspelen'

Challenge

This theme I've again given a challenge to the children of the 5th and 6th grade. 

The children of the 5th and 6th grade have an important task this year. They have to prepare a programme for our 'koningsspelen' day on the 20th of April. This programme must exist of games made of trash for all the other groups. They have to organize the whole day by themselves, that means the introduction of it, the explanation and at the end the closing. 

They took this job very serious and have worked for weeks on it. They used all kind of different 21 century skills. It was so great to see them working on it. 
Last friday it was a fantastic day, everyone enjoyed it very much.

What is Kingsplay ‘Koningsspelen’?

The kingsplay is a day with sports and games. The day starts with a helathy breakfast. The rest of the day we want children to play and move.
It’s a day organized since 2013. The idea came from Richard Krajicek, he’s a famous tennis player and because of the enthronement of our king in 2013, the day is called kingsplay.
This event is organized annually.

This is a movie of the official opening in a school somewhere in the center of The Netherlands. The king is there to have breakfast with the children and for the official opening.
