On 22 January 2020, staff members of the Department of Guided Tours Organization of Bolgar Museum-Reserve Sabirzyanova L.I. and Rogachyova M.N. held an event on “Winter fun” for the students of the 6th grade of Bolgar sanatorium-type residential school.
The emergence of physical exercise in ancient Russia relates to the primitive society. Scientists established that in distant past different sorts of physical exercise and games have been used in labor and military education. Games and physical training, which were at the root of human life and activities at various historical stages of development, persist to the present day. Riding, throwing things, archery, different games were widely spread. Peoples of our North used skiing in the hunt and at home. Many competitions took place, and young people demonstrated their youthful prowess. The strongest, the most agile and skilled boys and girls were identified.
The word “fun” itself had not only “entertaining” sense but also meant “massive events”. Winter has long been the time for amusement in Russia: seasonal work on the fields ended and people had more free time that is why youth made up different ways of having fun.
During the event, children knew about the games of our ancestors, figured out that sport competitions are important for physical education, also talked about modern sports.
In conclusion of the event, students actively participated in a quiz and received small presents.
