Europejska Olimpiada Zabaw Dawnych i Zapomnianych

Do you recognize this language? It’s Polish! This sentence means "European Olympiads of Old and Forgotten Games."

More than 150 children got together on June 27 and 28 in Kielce, in Poland. They participated in the second edition of these Olympiads. This year their title was, "For a Peaceful Europe, Making Links through Games."

The Director of the Museum of Toys and Games, who organized this event, invited Tapori children to come.

A delegation of Tapori kids from Ireland, Switzerland, France, and Poland participated alongside other delegations from Germany, Hungary, the Ukraine, and Poland.

 

The Tapori children also prepared games that would help other children get to know each other and become friends. They invited others to play these games during both days.

 

A large Dazibao (collective banner) was also created together by all the children.

 
The children were asked to bring with them a rock that was important for them. Each child could add his or her rock to a large sculpture done during the event in the Museum’s courtyard. The children could also write a message to tell why they chose their stones.
 

The Tapori delegation won the trophy for the team that smiled the most!
