For most students, physical education is a favorite subject. After all, where else can you run, jump and make noise without any comments? And sports competitions have always been and remain the most memorable for everyone!
Sport is the key to health
A similar phrase is heard quite often. Indeed, those involved in sports are less susceptible to disease, stress and depression. An active lifestyle not only tempers the human body, but also makes it more resilient.
Sports activities begin to be practiced in kindergarten. They have a pronounced game character - competitions, relay races, competitions. Thus, children are introduced to a healthy lifestyle. They also learn to give in, support each other and work in a team.
Children's sports competitions are often held by the educators themselves. In each garden, Health Day is held at different intervals . For competitions it is important to choose contests suitable for children by age. Relays must necessarily be aimed at identifying certain physical qualities, have a name and rules. Do not forget about the competitive moment.
For one sports competition, it is enough to choose 3-4 competitions. In no case should children be overloaded or forced. So you can forever discourage the sport.
Organization and holding of sports competitions
It is not so important at what age the competitions are held, the main goal remains familiarization with physical activities. It is very important to observe the conditions for the organization of competitions:
1. Define tasks and goals.
2. To select participants.
3. Develop a system of rewards and rewards.
4. Well, of course, think over the names of sports competitions.
Before competitions it is necessary to check that all sports equipment is in the right place and in good condition. Also check out sports equipment.
Before the competition, a leader is appointed, a judge. Be sure to attend a nurse who, if necessary, will provide first aid.
Those who don’t take part in the competitions can make posters in support of their team and learn a couple of cheering chants.
Physical education as a school subject
Physical education is not only a school subject. It is also the spiritual, mental and physical development of man. Therefore, the task of the teacher is to instill in the child a love of sports. One of the best methods is sports competitions.
At school, they are held in the following sports:
- Basketball.
- Volleyball.
- Competitions in military-applied sports.
- Run.
- Athletics (throwing, jumping, running).
- Competitions in winter sports.
One of the additional tasks of physical education is familiarization with new sports.
Title and motto
As already mentioned, each team should have its own name and motto. A famous proverb says: "As you name the ship, it will sail." This is true for sports.
At first glance, it seems that coming up with a name is simple. However, in reality, this is far from the case. Initially, you should listen to the ideas of all team members and come to a single decision, which is very difficult. After all, how many people, so many opinions.
It is best to focus on the nature of the participants in the title, their age, lifestyle. You can take the help of teachers. Just as students give nicknames to teachers, teachers give nicknames to their classes.
Sometimes the idea is presented by sports competitions themselves. For example, if the contest is called "Cossack Fun", then the team can be given the name "Mace".
In addition to the name, you must also come up with a logo and a motto. The latter should not be too complicated or long. A few encouraging words are enough. Examples: “I see the goal, I see no obstacles”, “Together we are strength”, “Forward to victory”.
Sports competitions are not just physical education in a playful way, this is a real celebration for the whole school. Do not despair if the team has not won, because the main thing is not victory, but participation.
From the history of sports competitions
Almost every student knows the legend about the origin of the Olympic Games. These are the most famous sports competitions. Various physical competitions were held long before our era. These were fist fights, horse racing, archery, throwing, etc.
The sport reached its highest peak in ancient Greece, where the very first Olympic Games were held (776 BC). Only indigenous free residents could participate in such competitions. Women were not allowed to compete.
The principle of games was honesty. The victory obtained by fraud, deprived the participant of the title. To become a participant in the Olympic Games, you had to train hard throughout the year.
For the ancient Greek population, sport was an exalted and noble occupation. A person who did not lead an active lifestyle was considered uncivilized and not self-respecting. As such, there were no sports at that time. Sports competitions were various physical exercises - jumping, running, throwing, wrestling ... They also competed in chariot riding and horseback riding.
Eleven centuries after the first Olympic Games, these competitions were canceled. World famous competitions were revived only after 1500 years thanks to Pierre de Coubertin. He created children's sports unions, as well as organized international competitions. Pierre believed that sport is what unites nations and continents.
So, having listened to Coubertin's advice and arguments, in 1894 the International Olympic Committee was created in Paris, and two years later the Olympic Games began to be held again.
