In Hungary, Gyereknap is celebrated on the last Sunday in May. There are lots of activities for kids, and it generally seems to be a pretty fun occassion.
Today Daniel and I, along with all of the other teachers, and all 160 students from our school, participated in a school fun day to celebrate Gyereknap. We all trudged down to Pápa tér this morning, set up camp, and then spent many hours participating in team sports, playing games, eating lollies and having a pretty terrific time.
Here are some of my favourite pictures from today.
Krisztián participating in the jump relay.
Some of the kids creating chalk drawings.
(Yes, they are drawing on the road. And yes, the road was accessible to cars at the time!)
Gábor, with his face painted devil-style.
Me, very excited to be holding a ferret.
The ferret doesn't look too impressed though :(
Teachers vs students tug-of-war.
All in all, a very fun day. The kids went home at 1:30pm and boy were they tired!
