| Carmen explaining her game |
Last May 18th we developed our 6th PE Workshop session. It was about our "best games"; that game your pupils don't get tired to play. Imma was the reporter this time and, as usually, she's done a great job. Some colleagues couldn't make it but Carmen joined us, after missing last to meetings because she had to take care of her mother. Welcome back, Carmen! Before you can read Imma's great report I'll write down next meeting highlights. It's a pity because it's going to be the last meeting but we'll make a great ending session... We'll go to the beach to develop beach games! Don't miss it!
DATE: June 15th (18:00-20:00)
PLACE: Malva-rosa's beach (Pans & Company)
CONTENT: Beach Games
See you in two weeks!

BEST GAMES (Imma)
Hi fellows!
This is the summary of the seventh session of the
seminary. One more time we had a meeting
on Wednesday but, this time, the playground was only for us because it was very
clouded and even it rained a little bit. Even though, we could play without any
problem. The topic was “Best Games”, those games they always work with your
students. We started that session
talking about our contact with English language: television, reading,
conversation… and everyone said his/her experience about it. Then we played five games
with many moments of laughter and anecdotes. In every game, we placed with
cones in order to mark the game place. We didn’t forget our daily routines
before starting the games.

| Playing Valencian ball |
Dani introduced “Valencian Ball” –pilota valenciana–. We used
a typical Valencian ball, but we didn’t protect our hands with special globes
–as they do in the real game–. We started to play hard in two teams and we respected the rules of the game, although I
didn’t know them. We played a couple times and it was difficult to see and to hit
the ball because it’s very tinny. We had a lot of fun. We should practice more
often!

| Playing 10 passes game |
Carmen introduced “10 passes game”. We used a basketball. We
were in two teams. Teammates had to pass the ball to each other 10 times in a
row in order to get 1 point. The other team had to try to intercept the ball.
It was also very fun to play!

| Playing Bull up! |
Marcos explained a game called Bull up!. Teacher chose
someone to be a bull and it’s identified with a handkerchief. Bull tried to catch them and they ran away in
order not be caught by the bull. Only they were save if their feet weren´t on
the floor (on the bench, on the tree, sat down on the floor but with your feet
up…). If you were in “safety”, you couldn’t move until some other player touch
your both hands.
After that was Fernando’s turn. Someone started being the
“catcher”. The rest had to go away. They could be safe for a short time
touching the cones that were around the playing court. There was a problem, of
course, there were more pupils than cones and only one person could be in a cone.

| Playing Cats and Mice |
We finish the session with my game: Cats and mice. Teacher
and pupils set a rectangle and draw an oval inside the rectangle with some
ropes. Teacher chose a few pupils as a cats and
they were only inside the oval. The rest of pupils were mice and ran
only in the same direction and in the space between the oval and the rectangle.
If a cat touched a mouse, this one was in that moment a cat. The game finished
when all mice were caught.
See you on 8th June at the beach!!
