II Liceum Ogólnokształcące im. Piotra Firleja w Lubartowie PROJECT „ HOPSCOTCH. IN SEARCH OF VINTAGE GAMES ” ( )

Division : Indoor games

The idea of the project „Hopscotch. In search of vintage games” is to draw the youth away from sitting in front of the computer and to discern that not only the virtual world is beautiful. In the first year of the enterprise, together with the school from Estonia we carried out a survey among those connected with the knowledge of vintage games (e.g. kapsle, palant). We got the biggest amount of information from elderly people, which is of great importance since one of the aims of the project is building up the intergeneration bonds. During the first visit to Poland, out of a huge database, we chose some games from both countries. All the activities we have undertaken are based on the values of friendship, respect, goodness, sincerity, love, trust and tolerance. The very project is propagated in the form of brochures, multimedia presentations in other schools in the town and in the local environment. The Partner Project Comenius enables the fulfilment of the cognitive aims assumed by the schools; it enables the students to develop the curiosity of the world, get to know other cultures, tolerance and cooperative skills in different circumstances. It teaches the existence in the contemporary world and international cooperation and allows the students to improve their language skills. Both the schools have great experience in cooperation and implementing both projects and other actions on the national and international stage.

The third participant jumps on the rubber and follows the previously arranged set of exercises. * Jumps on the rubber while a player is standing parallelly to the rubber and is trying to land so that the rubber remains between his/her two feet * jumps with both feet first on the first line then on the second one. Next a player has to jump and turn in the air (180 degrees) and land with both feet on the second line. Finally he/she has to jump to the first line and jump to the ground.. * Jump with one leg landing on the first line and the other leg on the other line.
