Meeting in the middle
Work out how far the physical distance is to your team partners in the region or to your European partner schools in the other countries. Then organise a relay race in which each partner covers half the distance, so that you 'meet in the middle'. You can run, cycle or swim - whatever you like best and however much you can manage before you are totally out of breath. Take as many days as you like - as long as everyone gets the chance to take part.
In which country is your 'virtual' meeting-point? Which countries will you cross during your relay race, and what do you know about them? If you would like to know more, click here.
Before you start, you will have to think about a way to document your relay race, verbally and visually, as a joint project.

Old sports rediscovered
Sports change with time. Things that used to be exciting may be all but forgotten. Together with your team partners, embark on a sporty 'journey through time'. You will find more about this under Country information: Exciting sporting facts - The Past. Try out the old kinds of sports and adjust the rules - if necessary - to the present. Organise a 'historical' sports day and compile the most original, historical sports in a European collection.
