On Tuesday, June 17, the Play All project, which we developed together with Fundació Tennis Barcelona and with the support of Nike, held its long-awaited End-of-Year Party, a fun, educational, and sporting event that brought together around 100 children and adolescents from various neighborhoods of Barcelona and Badalona.
It was much more than just the end of the school year: it was a true celebration of the values that have guided us all year long.
Diversity and Unity from All Corners of the City
Groups from different schools and neighborhoods — Raval, Carmel, Vall d’Hebron, Zona Franca, and Badalona — participated in the event. They were organized by age groups and accompanied at all times by their reference educators. Throughout the day, each group rotated through a series of activity stations, carefully adapted to their developmental stage.
But this event wasn’t just about fun — it was a pedagogical and emotional experience, designed to:
- Foster values such as cooperation, respect, effort, sportsmanship, and commitment.
- Encourage physical activity through play and enjoyment, far from competitiveness.
- Strengthen group bonds and end the school year with a meaningful and shared experience.
Activities That Got Everyone Moving
We prepared a variety of activity stations that became a true festival of movement, creativity, and teamwork. Each group participated in all the games and activities during an afternoon full of joy and excitement.
Hip Hop
A body expression activity combining rhythm, creativity, and personal confidence. The youngest participants let loose to the beat of urban music.
Cooperative Relays
From giant hamburger races to “pass the ball without hands,” every challenge was a chance to work together and overcome obstacles as a team.
Parachute Games
A large, colorful parachute helped encourage group rhythm, coordination, and non-verbal communication through games like “the wave” and “the volcano.”
Acrosport
Using the body as a tool for expression and collaboration, participants created human shapes reflecting strength, trust, and teamwork.
Pinfuvote
An alternative sport that mixes volleyball, ping-pong, and soccer — fun, dynamic, and inclusive for all ages.
Quadball
Adapted quidditch made its debut in Play All! With different roles, broomsticks (poles), and imagination, this magical game brought fantasy to life.
Flag Rugby
Non-contact strategy sport focused on speed and fair play. A favorite among the older groups.
Tchoukball and Cornhole
Throwing, bouncing, and aiming in games where the goal wasn’t to win, but to enjoy, cooperate, and show respect.
A Party to Remember
The Play All End-of-Year Party was a reflection of everything we’ve built this school year: connections, learning, movement, and shared joy. Every laugh, every act of teamwork, and every game added to an unforgettable experience.
