Olympia Rally

On the occasion of the 2022 Winter Olympics, students in Grades 2-8 also celebrated this event on the IGS campus. As it is customary in this competition, there were country affiliations that the students in the groups could choose independently. For example, the countries Italy, Thailand and Germany faced each other in the one-hour treasure hunt. During this rally, questions, some of which  were created by the students themselves, had to be answered at various stations, but lesson content from various subjects was also integrated into this scavenger hunt.
In addition to the endurance run, there were also sporting tasks that had to be completed. Many students reported that the running dictation was a big challenge, where the groups had to memorize words over a distance and write them down on paper.
The rally ended with the traditional award ceremony, during which the national anthems of the respective countries were played, which some participants had probably heard for the first time. In a nutshell, the students proved that sport is not only about individual physical challenges, but that goals can also be achieved with logic, teamwork, perseverance and patience.
