Let's keep the Olympic Spirit alive and celebrate Japanese Sports Day! The Japanese #SportsDay ( #undokai #運動会 in Japanese) is a popular event in the school calendar; a fun-filled day with an emphasis on teamwork and collaboration. #SportsDayJapan

Originally created to commemorate the 1964 Tokyo #OlympicGames, the national holiday of ‘Sports Day’ normally falls in October. This year it was moved to July 24 to coincide with the opening ceremony for #Tokyo2020. #SportsDayJapan https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7mnenm 

Although we will have to wait another year for the Olympics, we invite everyone to keep the spirit of the games alive by holding their own fun-filled Japanese sports day over the summer. We have created an At Home Edition of our Japanese Sports Day Pack. https://www.japansociety.org.uk/resource?resource=40
