In Siem
Reap, we were glad to discover the “hidden” French School: with only 75 pupils,
it is a very small one. Again, it is so nice to be warmly welcome by teachers,
headmaster and of course by the children!!!
We first
met Laetitia’s pupils (CE1 – CE2) and we learnt a lot of games:
- - The
game “Gazelle, Lion, Crocodile”: You need as much lions as gazelles and for the
crocodiles, they can be a bit less. Crocodiles are in the “river” (lines on the
ground) at the end of the play field. Gazelles are on the starting line and
have a scarf in their back (used as a tail). The lions are one meter behind the
gazelles. At the starting bang, gazelles and lions runs. Lions have to catch
the tail of the gazelles but when they reach the river, gazelles are safe and
lions can be catch by the crocodiles….
-
- - “Monkeys
and coconuts”: Monkeys are in team of 2 and stay on each side of the “river” (lines
on the ground), where there are many crocodiles. Each team has a ball (a
coconut) and the goal is to throw the coconut from one side to another as many
time as possible before the crocodiles catch the ball.
- - “Wolf
and squirrel”: In a basket you put some balls (nuts) and you define where is
the river (a line on the ground). Squirrels have to transport the nuts from the
basket to their home, after the river. But the territory between the nuts and
the river is full of wolves… Be careful not to be catch!!!
- - “Sparrowhawk
with condition”: It is the same game as the normal sparrohawk: all players are
on one side of the field and they have to cross it when the sparrowhawk asks
them to get out but in this version, the sparrowhawk can had “conditions”. For
example “all player with glasses get out”: all children have to cross the field
(so that they will be on the same side for the next round) but only the
children with glasses can be caught by the sparrowhawk.
- - “Wizard
and Goblin version Country”: you need to define 2 countries (2 fields on the
ground) and 2 teams. Wizards have to catch the goblins and bring them to the
cauldron. Wizards cannot move from one country to another but goblins can. When
a goblin is caught, he can be delivered by the “super goblin” who can only be
caught by the “super wizard”. The super
wizard is the only wizard who can change “country” and move everywhere! Is is a
game with many types of players so children have a lot of fun!
- - “Rabbit
and hunter”: You choose 2 teams : rabbits and hunters. Hunters have balls and
have to touch rabbits with the ball. If a rabbit is touched, he is “frozen” and
can only be delivered if the “Super rabbit” touches him. And of course the
super rabbit can only be touched by the “super hunter”… (so, as you noticed, Laetitia
and the children love the “super” players!!!)
As the older
ones had to work and couldn’t participate, we came 3 days to “animate” the
playground for their break!!! We had a lot of fun together!!!
And as is
wasn’t enough, we were invited at the traditional Christmas party. All children
sang Christmas songs and then called Santa who came…. Abseiling!! It was so
lovely to see him “coming down from the sky”… Only the black boots were missing
but with this heat we can understand that he preferred to wear flip flops!!!
We hope
that Santa put some clothes in between so that he could bring you everything
you asked him !!! We were very spoiled by our families but also by the French
School of Mouvaux. Big ones and little ones offered us a lovely surprise. Once
again, thank you very much!!!
