Reignhead Primary Inter-School Tournament

Reignhead Primary Inter-School Tournament

Today’s Inter-School Tournament was for Y2 pupils and held at Reignhead Primary School, with 24 children from 3 different schools in the area. Next week, in the same area, will be an even bigger event with 5 schools each sending 2 key stage 2 teams to play… but that’s next weeks story!

Our team’s this time were from Reignhead, Beighton and Waterthorpe primary schools. Waterthorpe had already had their very own Imagination Gaming Games Day, and they came ready to show what they already knew, that our games were great fun to play together and competitively. The fact that they had continued to play the games we had left them was clearly evident, with impeccable manners and helpfulness, even though they knew there were trophies up for grabs… good thing I’d deliberately chosen games they’d never played before! Beighton and Reignhead were equally ready to prove themselves, and together everyone did a brilliant job of representing themselves and their schools.

Key Stage 1 tournaments are great fun. Of course they differ greatly in the games we play and the methods we use, but the concept is still the same. Bring your friends and team-mates, meet other children you wouldn’t normally, play together, compete respectfully, learn something new and most importantly… have fun!

As always, the morning was about meeting the other children and teachers, and of course learning the games for the day, ready for the afternoon’s competition. The schools had also made sure to get the most out of the day by including a small games pack for each team to take with them at the end. This meant that rather than just having a fantastically fun day, the schools involved were all getting some games to use every day… and some ‘Games Wizards’ ready to teach all their friends how to play them.

As the children were that bit younger, the challenge to them all was to stay focussed… and they did it superbly. We taught them 6 different games this morning, in a couple of hours of intense fun, and they knocked it out the park!

Today’s games were Folanimoes from Djeco, Lost and Found, 10 Up and Froggy from BrainBox and Green Board Games, Pass The Bomb from Gibson Games, and a very classic version of Hey! That’s My Fish… (a long time Imagination Gaming favourite)! All of these games have previously featured in our Imagination Gaming Game of the Year awards or IGGY’s.

Meet the teams… and the winners!

So, without further ado… congratulations go to everyone involved, with a big thanks to all the teachers too, and Reignhead for being fantastic hosts… but who got the trophies?!!!!

….Waterthorpe did! Here they are with their certificates and trophies, one for the winning team and one for the individual points scorer Harry, who helped lead his team to ultimate glory!

Who will win next time?! I feel sure there’ll be plenty of competition and more teams joining us when we return.

So, one question remains. When will we be at your school? Get in touch and let’s arrange something special just for you! Email us here or give us a call…
