Dear World Games Fans!

AllwinThe 'World Games Fun Day' acquaints young and old with 30+ sports of The World Games 2005 in Duisburg, Germany, and offers an opportunity for highly entertaining workouts.

50 exercises make up the World Games Fun Day: playful first encounters with sports ranging – alphabetically – from aikido to water ski. These exercises were developed by German sports pedagogues (under the lead of Christoph Gehrt-Butry on behalf of the Duisburg Sports Council and the Organizing Committee for The World Games 2005) for physical education classes to be held at schools in North Rhine-Westphalia. But many of the exercises can be easily adapted to all-ages programs elsewhere: from psychomotor education in a kindergarten all the way to fitness classes for senior citizens and even parties. They are flexible and ageless. Above all, they’re for fun!
