Our Language Ambassadors have been busy sharing games from around the world with pupils across the school. Through these activities, they have celebrated different cultures while helping others learn new languages and ways of playing together.

One of the games introduced was the strategic game Mancala, which is widely played across West Africa. Pupils enjoyed thinking carefully about their moves as they tried to outplay their opponents. Another activity was hopscotch using Roman numerals, where children practised recognising numerals while taking part in a familiar playground game.

The ambassadors also organised a competitive round of Pañuela, a lively game played using Spanish numbers, which brought lots of excitement and teamwork. Finally, everyone joined in with a well-loved jumping game popular in the UK –

“England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales…” – a playground favourite that had pupils laughing and cheering.

Our Language Ambassadors have worked incredibly hard to lead these activities. By sharing games from different parts of the world, they have helped celebrate culture, encourage curiosity, and show compassion within our school community.
