    Thank you so much for watching! Hope you enjoyed it! We definitely need to organise some kindof TH-cam sports day...even though I wouldn't win at anything. Can Smash Bros be a sport?
    Also hey people that explore deep in the description! I'm working on a way to get my merch online. Could take some time though. Looking at Late September. :O

      Yes! This is what we had kinda. Except you couldn’t buy food, every team had a color, each grade has their field day separated from every other grades. All of this was only during elementary. Middle school we never did anything and high school we had a tournament and raised money for charities and it was just clicks of people on their own teams🤷🏻‍♀️.

    In my area of America, we call it Field Day. In ours, our homerooms got split in two, so you were just going against your homeroom. We did the usual games like tug o‘ war, space walk races, kick ball, wall ball, wheel barrel relay, and many more. We usually ended the day by heading back up to our classes and watching a movie. A lot of people got checked out after, so there were usually 5-15 people after.

      We even had Chariots of Fire playing at my primary school as we walked onto the field and everyone would slow-mo walk. I think my school was more chill than most on sports day but that's coming from a Nightingale (the house that always won on sports day). I hated most of it apart from the hurdles (which were fun), the standing long jump (which I was marginally better at than most) and the sack race (which I was bloody fantastic at! I always won.)

    I'm from the UK and my secondary school the more you went up in school years the more you disliked Sports days. The seniors would just laze around and not try very hard while the juniors were very competitive with each other. The seniors would hide from taking part in sports day and wish we just had a day of instead. It was interesting to see in our year who was lucky enough to get out of sports day or get out of choosing a team.

I walked there with the others but walked slower than them (they had to see me). When the last person walked past me, I turned back and went home. The next day, they asked me where I was. I told them I wasn't feeling well, I couldn't find a teacher to tell and went home. They believed me. Later, during a break, someone from another class asked, and he didn't believe me. Then someone from my class stepped in and said, I saw her she looked sick...

    Aussie here. Never had a sports day in high school (or I played sick to get out of it and have just blocked it from my memory) but it was an annual thing in primary school that absolutely traumatised me until the last couple of years when Mum would finally let me call in sick that day. I had undiagnosed Autism and it brought with it a variety of other undiagnosed issues like extremely poor speed and co-ordination, sensory issues, etc. While mentally, I was assessed to be within the top 5% of my age group, physical skills wise, I was within the bottom 5%. The sports day in grade 4 or 5 (I don't remember which year it was), the school decided that I needed a boost in my confidence so they insisted I race with the preschoolers, who they were sure I would be able to beat. In front of a huge crowd of all the teachers and staff, fellow students, their families, etc. I was halfway down the 100m track by the time the last preschooler crossed the finish line. Everyone laughed. I wanted to stop but they insisted I at least finish. I was slow and people were still laughing at me so they made me get off the track (so the next race could start), walk alongside the track and collect my participation ribbon at the finish line. Even my day care mum (think babysitter but at her house rather than mine), who I was very close with and cared deeply for, couldn't help laughing. I cried so hard and I don't think I went to another sports day after that. So much for a confidence boost.

      We had to do the potato and spoon instead of the egg and spoon at our primary school as eggs were too 'messy' and we did it with massive ladle-like spoons. I would sit in the line to do that dreading my turn as I was god-awful at it and never failed to drop it less than 7 times. I'm afraid I can't relate to the sack race as I was brilliant at it but, I still feel you.

    I'm Canadian. Our sports day was your last chance to get points for your house before the spirit cup was awarded (a little plaque with the year and house name would be attached to the base of the cup if you won). Our games though we're pretty different. Like throwing rubber chickens into croc pots and transferring water from one pale to the next using only a sponge.

    Up here in Minnesota, we had Field day in elementary school and you would go outside for basically extended recess but not the whole day and there were bounce houses and races and hurdles and the playground and stuff. At the end you got a snowcone, then you had to go back inside and do math or whatever. I moved in 6th grade to a new district(where 6th was still elementary school and not middle/jr high), and that district didn't do anything at all except for a big "walkathon" around the high schools track for no reason.

    At my school in Kansas we had field day which was 1st-5th grade. It was just this day where everyone went outside for the last half of the day and you could meet up with your friends and go around and play all these games that were set up by parents like four square, three legged race, etc, and there were snow cones. We weren't usually allowed to run or anything at recess so it was great because we had this day where we could be more rambunctious without getting in trouble (except for one in like second grade when I got detention for going behind a tree to play hide and seek). And it happened around May 1, and school got out around May 20th

    we had field day all in elementary school (grades k-5) and each classroom was given a color you needed to wear. we did a lot of games with water, like a version of duck duck goose called drip drip splash, and kickball, tug of war, egg on spoon, can jam, and 3 leg races. You would rotate and compete against another color constantly. There was also a station where you could draw with chalk or skip rope to take a break 😂 that was MY STATION!

    Ours was called field day. We had to wear our school colors and they made special t-shirts for that day. Two weeks before you would chose from a list of which events you wanted to be in. You got to choose 3 or 4. The whole town would be there. It was an all day event.
