7. Suggestions on practising traditional
games and sports by students, parents.
 Encouraging young people to play sports in their early years, playing sports with family, using daily things to playing sports
without buying an expensive equipment, (for example: bike, aerobic), taking part and encouraging local people to sports
events.
 Schools should organize joint sports events with students, teachers and parents: hiking, competitions, mass cross, outdoor
games.
 Construction of suitable sports facilities, placing the basketball boards and outdoor fitness equipment available to all, who
wish to enjoy sports and recreation.
 To organise more general sport activities for students and parents; backpacking activities; to talk about healthy life with
parents and students.
 I would arrange a school project where Students and their grandparents would be involved in “mixed aged” competitions.
They should compete in different activities / sports, both old and new sports/hobbies. They should be each others’
teachers in order to share knowledge and create a bridge between two apparently distant generations.

8. Using educational games in the
teaching process:
To what extent do you agree with
the following statements?
 ❑Games create conditions to connect
theoretical knowledge with their application in
practical tasks;
 ❑They provide an opportunity for the
development of each student according to their
interests and abilities;
 ❑They support the formation of skills and
willingness to work in a team;
 ❑They develop students' creative skills;
 ❑They enrich the communicative competence.

chance to improve their language skills. 45% of teachers have improved
their knowledge of English on very good level, 34% on good level and 14%
on average.

Interpretation of results: The results show us that the teachers have discovered new cultural
horizons in the European community.
The working meetings are very useful for the joint work on the project and its aims. The
communication face to face gives great opportunities to feel specific culture, to visit the schools, to
see the exhibitions, to get acquainted with a large range of teachers and pupils, parents and local
communities.
The teachers have mentioned quite a lot of things they found out about the partner schools and local
customs in the hosting countries. Probably these are the reasons why 89% of the teachers answered
that the project was worth the effort.

Interpretation of results: By idea exchange with our colleagues from partner schools
we have the opportunity to apply something different, interesting for the pupils that
motivates them and helps them to get knowledge and skills. This leads to the use of new
methods and the better quality of educational process. Working in a team environment
typically involves collaborating with others to solve problems and develop innovative
solutions.
The Erasmus + project has intensified teamwork within the school. According to the
respondents teamwork between the partner schools has been an extremely important
component of the success of the project work. 49 % of the teachers gave “5” and 35 % gave
“4” in this question.
