Bean bag toss |
The Joy
of the children could be seen as they came in one by one reminiscing about how
the previous Undokai festivals have been and how this one is even going to be
better most of the children who had not come in during the previous Undokai
activities were being fed with sneak peeks of some of the activities that are
usually carried out during this
specific day.
The children surpassed our target number as 139 showed up
exceeding the 100 that we had anticipated which was amazing as it goes the
more the merrier. Children were divided into two teams team red and team white
and they had to compete against each other in whatever competition that would
come up, each team was given a headband of their color to show which team they
represented.

Centipede race |
The day kicked off by a tree planting activity where by
children were given different trees which they planted to promote environmental
conservation as Undokai is all about sports and environmental conservation, 62
trees were planted each child planting the trees with love tender and care.
Later the sports activity started, there were a series of activities which the
children were to participate in including :Bean bag toss, Run away bean bag toss,
Sack race, Rope skipping, Three legged race, Centipede race,Relay,Big ball relay,
Tug of war,100 meters race and finally clean up race. The competition was tough
as no team wanted to be on the losing end, each team picking some of the best
people to represent them and those remaining cheering their representatives and
encouraging them when they seemed to lose hope before finishing, however at the
end there was a tie as both teams gave their best in all the activities they
were chosen to engage in making it a win win for both.

Coach Katsuya Otsu with the squad |
Later the children had lunch and left happy carrying
stories to tell those who missed. The squad group who usually come in for
tennis training sessions remained behind and had a nice time playing tennis
with our guest Katsuya Otsu from Tokai University who has always been coming to
Sadili Oval sports Academy and spending time with our children playing and
promoting WASH and Environmental conservation.
