GRAND PRIX GAMES<br />
Each country introduce a national<br />
game<br />
Sweden<br />
Catch The Flag<br />
The Field is 30x15 meters. And you have a line in the middle.<br />
Four hula-hoops on the end of each short side. This is where<br />
you keep your treaseures.<br />
There are two jails close to the middle line. Each team have<br />
their own jail. If you are on the wrong side and you get<br />
caught you have to go to their jail.<br />
You will need 15 players on each side.<br />
Rules: We start off in two teams. One team on each side of<br />
the mid line. The main goal is to take the enemy teams flags.<br />
You have to run over the enemy territory where the flags are<br />
whitout being caught. Once inside the hulahoops you can’t<br />
get caught. These are ”free-zones”.<br />
If you get caught by the enemy they will bring you to their<br />
jail. If you get caught on the way back with an enemy flag,<br />
you have to put it back. Then you have to wait until one of<br />
your team-mates comes and saves you. The team-mate that<br />
saved you most hold your hand until youré on your own side<br />
again.<br />
If you and your team captures the three flags and bring them<br />
over to your side. you will win the game.<br />
This is what you need: Huula-Hoops, Bands for the teams, 8<br />
flags and Cones to mark the field.<br />
Germany<br />
Völkerball - Nations' ball<br />
(similar to dodge ball)<br />
A court is divided into two areas, it is a similar size to a<br />
volleyball court but can vary depending on the venue.<br />
There are two teams and each team normally consists of 6<br />
players. One player of each team stands at the baseline, the<br />
other 5 players stay in the opposite court.<br />
On the referee’s whistle, players rush to get the ball which is<br />
thrown in the air. The team that caught the ball, has to return<br />
it to the baseline before it is in play. You can get the ball back<br />
to baseline by throwing it back to the single player who has<br />
waited there. Once it has reached the baseline, you can start<br />
to throw at the opponents. It is not allowed to cross the<br />
halfway line of the courts.<br />
Those opponents who are hit by a live ball ( a ball that has<br />
not bounced or hit a wall/ceiling) and can not catch it cleanly<br />
are out and must leave the court immediately and stand<br />
outside the opponents court. The player who threw the ball
is allowed to join the players of his team inside the court<br />
lines.<br />
The winning team is the team, that eleminated all the<br />
opponents with live balls.<br />

Austria<br />
Puzzle run<br />
Goal: Developing aerobic power<br />
Material: some puzzle motives appropriate to students‘ age<br />
(original and pieces of the puzzle), containers for the pieces<br />
of the puzzle, pylons<br />
Procedure: Each team has the task to set the puzzle<br />
according to original. There is a relatively long mileage set<br />
out. Each team is split up again in two running groups who<br />
have to run along a rope. The running teams alternately run<br />
to the end of the course, take a part of the puzzle and run<br />
back again to set the puzzle. How many puzzles does each<br />
group manage within six mintues?<br />
Variations:<br />
Adding the running course with obstacles<br />
Making the groups smaller and raising the parts of the<br />
puzzle<br />
Each member of the running group brings one part of<br />
the puzzle
Parts of two different puzzles are in a container, the<br />
runners have to bring one part of the puzzle<br />
according to their original – if their decission was<br />
wrong, the next running group has to bring back this<br />
part and isn’t allowed to choose a new one.<br />
Competition between two or three groups<br />
Parcheese or Ludo<br />
According to the board game „Ludo“ a thrilling moving play<br />
can be developed in the gym.<br />
A mixture between fitness and coincidence brings fun, stress<br />
and high moving intensity.<br />
Playing area:<br />
The gym or part of it is converted for the „Ludo“ game<br />
There are five stations where extra fitness exercises have to<br />
be passed<br />
The teams themselves are positioned outside the running<br />
course<br />
Material required:<br />
1. A laminated copy of a „Ludo“ board<br />
2. 4 sets of pawns in four different colours and different<br />
shapes for each group<br />
3. At least 2 dice<br />
For the exercise stations: (according to size of groups)<br />
Ropes and one stop watch, gymnastic mats, gymnastic<br />
bench or small bin (aerobic step) and a running course<br />
(eventually short dumb-bells for the aerobic step)<br />
A table or a small box for setting the game board
Rule of the game – run of play<br />
The pawns are set like in the original game.<br />
That means that the first pawn can be set on start after play<br />
dicing a „six“. According to the following diced numbers they<br />
are moved on until all pawns are „at home“. (or may be only<br />
part of the four, depending on time)<br />
Before the game starts each team numbers their players.<br />
Each number „One“-player runs to the board, play dices and<br />
if getting a „six“, play dices again and the pawn is set to the<br />
relevant position. If there was no „six“, the player runs back<br />
to his/her group, gives the next one a high five and he/she<br />
continues.<br />
According to the play diced number the pawn is set forward<br />
and the player passes the relevant exercise. After doing so<br />
the player runs back to his/her station and the next player<br />
runs to the board after having got the high five.<br />
Exercises:<br />
Station 1: 10 x jumping the rope<br />
Station 2: 5 x knee bending<br />
Station 3: 5 x pushups<br />
Station 4: 10 x ascending stairs on an aerobic step or<br />
gymnastic bench (ev. short dumb-bells)<br />
Station 5: 1 x running around the running course
IYM-GAMES<br />
Fun contest with 6 stations<br />
Candystrap-eating contest:<br />
Put a strap of candy in your mouth then try and eat it without<br />
using your hands as fast as possible.<br />
Eggthrowing contest:<br />
Lay a measuring tape on a hard surface and start off by<br />
throwing an unboiled egg. The first person throw the egg<br />
and the second person catch it, then the thrower becomes<br />
the catcher and a new thrower joins.<br />
Irish Christmas:<br />
Start off 10 m away from a app. 1 m high stick, run towards<br />
the stick and run 10 laps around it with your head ontop of it.<br />
Fastest time wins.<br />
Pea picking:<br />
Pour some peas in a 2x2 square and put them in a bowl using<br />
a clothespin. Most peas wins.<br />
Cone bandy:<br />
You need a cone covering your face and then you have to<br />
transport a bandy ball with a stick around a cone and then<br />
back to the goal.<br />
Stand on as few crates as possible:<br />
You have to stand on as few crates as possible, you start with<br />
9 crates and then all in the group have to stand on the crates<br />
and count to 10. Then you remove a crate and do the same<br />
thing as before, as few as you can handle.
ORIENTEERING<br />
The swedish students showed the guests a sport that is<br />
special for Sweden.<br />
Orienteering requires navigational skills using a map and<br />
compass to navigate from point to point in diverse and<br />
usually unfamiliar terrain. Participants are given a<br />
topographical map which they use to find control points.<br />

students and their teachers were introduced to various<br />
exciting activities – biking, waterskiing, geocaching, visits to<br />
different lessons and lots more.
Teachers Meeting Krems<br />
MUSIC AND MOVEMENT<br />
The German colleague Marie Sturm organized music and<br />
movement activities with colleagues and students from<br />
Krems.<br />
Krems<br />
STUDENTS IN AUSTRIA<br />
Einige Düsseldorfer und Moerser Comeniusschüler<br />
besuchten ihre Partnerschule in Krems. Neben<br />
bewegungsreichem Programm, wie einer Fahrradtour<br />
entlang der Donau und einer Wanderung zur Donauwarte<br />
hatten die Schüler die Möglichkeit eine Straußenfarm und die<br />
„Arche Noah“ zu besichtigen. Dies ist eine Einrichtung, die<br />
sich mit der genetischen Erhaltung diverser Gemüse und<br />
Kräutersorten befasst. Bei einem Wientag kam auch das<br />
kulturelle Programm nicht zu kurz.

IMPROVE YOUR DRINKING<br />
WATER HABITS<br />
Water helps us keep a healthy body.<br />
Our body contains 70% of water and is a main ingredient<br />
which keeps our body alive. People who drink the<br />
recommended daily water intake often have healthier skin,<br />
better body weight, higher energy levels, better digestion,<br />
less headaches etc.<br />
Steps to forming a drinking water habit:<br />
Drink water throughout the day, not just when you are<br />
thirsty, you are already dehydrated by then. Have a glass<br />
of water when you wake up, a glass of water between<br />
each meal, a glass before, during and after any form of<br />
exercise.<br />
Have a bottle of water on your desk or carry one around<br />
with you. This will encourage you to sip water throughout<br />
the working day. Once it is empty, simple refill it.<br />
Reminder: Periodically set your computer, your mobile or<br />
a watch to remind you to drink water. Don’t allow<br />
yourself to get too caught up in what you are doing and<br />
forget to drink your water.<br />
Note it down. Noting your new good habit in black and<br />
white will encourage you to keep up the good work!<br />
Liven it up! For some a glass of water really is not the<br />
most tempting thing that is out there. Add some natural<br />
flavours like Strawberry and Kiwi or some Lemon and<br />
Lime to make a quenching drink. Perhaps invest in some<br />
interesting ice cube trays or cut up and freeze some fresh<br />
fruit which will add flavour as well as a bit of fun to your<br />
water.<br />
If you need motivation to drink more water, remember that<br />
it…<br />
constitutes 80% of your brain<br />
regulates your body temperature<br />
constitutes 85% of your blood<br />
helps carry nutrients and oxygen to your cells<br />
moistens oxygen for breathing<br />
helps converts food into energy<br />
helps body absorb nutrients<br />
removes wastes<br />
constitutes 22% of your bones<br />
constitutes 75% of your muscles<br />
cushions and protects vital organs<br />
cushions joints<br />
maintains health of all tissues including your face &<br />
skin
KURZTURNEN<br />
(5‘ WORKOUT)<br />
Bewegungspausen/Kurzturnen<br />
Kurze Bewegungssequenzen (5 Minuten) werden regelmäßig<br />
täglich nach der 3. Unterrichtseinheit, bei Bedarf auch öfter,<br />
entweder zur Entspannung oder Aktivierung eingebaut.<br />
Anleitungen und Videos für aktive Bewegungspausen<br />
werden den Lehrern und Schülern zur Verfügung gestellt.<br />
Daily 5 minutes workout assisted by students and videos.<br />
HEALTHY WEEKS<br />
Each school oranized healthy weeks. The students were<br />
offered a lot of healthy topics, they prepared healthy meals,<br />
worked out healthy tipps, did planty of healthy movements<br />
and were encouraged to live and work healthy.

knowingly the variety and beauty of nature (sun rise, clouds,<br />
reflexions, plants, animals …) Avoid being extensively after<br />
negative media reports! Find leisure activities you like!<br />
Avoid procrastination of work which has to be done, make a<br />
plan and try to keep to it! Don’t forget breaks.<br />
Do some relaxing exercises, they help you to concentrate<br />
better again.<br />
Maybe walking or cycling around brings your energy back!<br />
Try to find out who you can ask for help or where you can<br />
look up for information, if you don’t know how to continue<br />
(learning, homeworks, …)<br />
Try to have self-discipline. If you undertake something, keep<br />
to it and don’t give up too quickly!<br />
If sorrows, fears, or doubts struggle you, then trust to the<br />
force of positive mind! Trust in yourself!<br />
Work out your social abilities and show emphatize. Even if<br />
you don’t like persons, you can try to approach in a friendly<br />
manner!<br />
Use a friendly language! You achieve a positive mood – in<br />
yourself and in others!<br />
Start the day with a smile, even if you don’t feel so. You will<br />
see, it makes you feel better!<br />
If you hear a bad remark, don’t take it serious! You can only<br />
be annoyed if you are weak or unsure! Raise up an invisible<br />
protection where everything is bounced! If it is too much for<br />
you, get help!<br />
If somebody turns violent, say loudly and distinctly „Stop“!<br />
(without invective!!!) Maybe it was only a mistake! If not and<br />
your „Stop“ doesn’t help, get help!<br />
Report in any case if somebody takes your things without<br />
asking!<br />
If you are threatened or even get blackmailed, you must<br />
report immediately!

LESSONS
Some examples for lessons<br />
and topics<br />
MUSIC<br />
Transcription of Rock'n Roll Musik (Jerry Lee Lewis 'Great<br />
Balls of Fire') in movement.<br />
ARTS<br />
Collage: Eat healthy
Design of posters<br />
PHYSICAL EDUCATION<br />
Some ideas for PE developed by reason of the participation<br />
in the project.<br />
Nordic Walking - Krems/Austria<br />
All the girls of class 3a, 3b, 3c took part in the PE-Project<br />
"Walking by weather and wind"<br />
Two lessons a week throuhout the year.<br />
They do it wether the weather be fine or not!<br />
One of the most important aspects of that activity was not to<br />
say, "let's stay inside today, it is too cld, too hot, too windy, it<br />
is raining, it is snowing, we are tired today,...."<br />
They do it regulary and they don't mind the weather! As they<br />
knew this rule before, there was no reason for lamenting.<br />
A further benefit was: They learnt to know places of their<br />
hometown, were they have never been before.
Excursion to a gym studio<br />
Students of the 4c visited a gym to learn more about how to<br />
keep their bodies healthy.<br />
They were given an advice about a healthy diet and how to<br />
keep their bodies fit.<br />
They also learned that there the youth meets and besides<br />
friendships may develop.<br />
Body piercing and tattooing<br />
ENGLISH<br />
Students prepared and gave presentations on the following<br />
topics:<br />
Body piercing and tattooing can be dangerous.<br />
Prevention for a healthy body.<br />
How can a tattoo or body piercing be dangerous for your<br />
health?<br />
Some results:<br />
Body piercing and tattooing are popular, but it is important<br />
to consider why you want a piercing and how it may affect<br />
your life. Poor hygiene and care can lead to infection, allergic<br />
reactions, scarring nerve damage or blood-borne diseases<br />
such as hepatitis or HIV.<br />
Poor hygiene and lack of care during and after piercing<br />
procedure can lead to infection, allergic reactions, nerve<br />
damage or blood-borne diseases such as hepatitis B or C, or<br />
HIV.<br />
ALWAYS CHOOSE A PIERCER WHOSE PREMISES ARE<br />
REGISTERED WITH THEIR LOCAL COUNCIL TO MINIMISE THE<br />
RISKS.
There are a lots of things to consider.<br />
Piercing and tattooing may be fashionable now, but<br />
trends change. How will you feel about the piercing or<br />
tattooing a few years from now?<br />
Piercing and tattooing is painful for some time<br />
afterwards.<br />
How will your family and friends feel about your<br />
piercing or tattoos and will it affect your<br />
relationships?<br />
Having a visible body piercing or tattoo could affect<br />
your employment opportunities .<br />
Piercing and tattoos are popular for self-expression<br />
among students, but if you`re not careful these body<br />
decorations could become ugly scars or painful<br />
mistakes.<br />
<br />
MOUTH/FACIAL PIERCING<br />
Some complications: Interference with speaking or chewing,<br />
mouth irritation or trauma to teeth and gums .<br />
NAVEL PIERCING (Bauchnabel)<br />
Complication:- Severe infection, if the umbilicus is pierced.<br />
NIPPLE PIERCING (BRUSTWARZE)<br />
Complications: Difficulty breastfeeding or the growth of a<br />
cyst inside the nipple or blocked milk ducts.<br />
GENITAL PIERCING<br />
Complication: Increased risk of sexually transmissible<br />
infections .<br />
AVOIDING INFECTION FROM PIERCING<br />
Before piercing or tattooing speak to your doctor<br />
about any precautions<br />
Keep the piercing as dry as possible<br />
Don`t remove the jewellery before the wound has<br />
fully healed.<br />
Avoid swimming until piercing has healed as water<br />
can cause a risk of infection<br />
Do not remove the scab as this protects the piercing<br />
from infection.<br />
Use an antibacterial liquid soap on the piercing area<br />
when you`re showering or bathing.<br />
<br />
SHORT EXPLANATION ABOUT HEPATITS<br />
Hepatits is a disease of the liver. In hepatits, the liver is<br />
inflamed . Most cases of hepatitis are caused by viruses.<br />
Hepatitis B is spread by blood or body fluids from an<br />
infection person.<br />
Hepatits B sometimes damages the liver severely and cause<br />
cancer.<br />
Hepatits C is spread in ways that are similar to hepatits B.
Lunch<br />
HEALTHY FOOD<br />
During the healthy weeks students prepared their own lunch.<br />
Every Friday a team of five pupils brought vegetables, fruits<br />
and homemade spread to school and prepared the lunch for<br />
the whole class. So after the healthy weeks each pupil in<br />
class had helped to prepare lunch for the others.<br />
Breakfast<br />
Students prepared a healthy breakfast. They had fruit salad,<br />
muesli, mini pancakes (prepared with buckwheat flour),<br />
cucumbers stuffed with curd cheese which was flavoured<br />
with herbs, tuna spread on peppers. They really enjoyed their<br />
breakfast.
Picnic in the city park<br />
Students went shopping to the daily farmer’s market and to a<br />
health-food shop and then had a gladsome and healthy picnic<br />
in the city park.<br />
"Food from the wood - food from the meadow"<br />
Healthy bread - wonderful decorated - it's nearly a pity to eat<br />
them!<br />
Students used sheperd's perse, wild garlic, daisys, violets and<br />
other herbs and eatable flowers for healthy slices of bread.
PERFORMANCES<br />
&<br />
EVENTS
FINGERFOOD<br />
mit CJD Kochazubis<br />
Wie überzeugt man 15-jährige davon, dass es gar nicht so<br />
schwer ist, sich halbwegs gesund zu ernähren bzw. sich<br />
Mahlzeiten selbst zuzubereiten?<br />
Man nehme drei Kochazubis des CJD Berufsbildungswerks<br />
Niederrhein, 14 Schülerinnen und Schüler der<br />
Comeniusgruppe, eine Jugendzentrumsküche und viele<br />
scharfe Messer. Innerhalb von 3 Stunden bruzzelten und<br />
schnibbelten die Schüler unter professioneller Anleitung der<br />
Jungköche ein ausgewogenes und ansprechendes<br />
Fingerfood - Buffet für 50 Personen, das schon vor der<br />
Eröffnung nur schwer gegen hungrige Jugendliche zu<br />
verteidigen war.<br />
Rohkostplatten, Obstspieße, selbst gemachte Pizzen,<br />
Hackbällchen, Knäckebrot mit Dipp (besser als Chips!) und<br />
mehr wurden hergestellt.
COOK&DANCE Party<br />
The tasty snacks made by the students under supervison of<br />
the cook trainees and a Hip-Hop performance and course by<br />
Hip-Hop instructor Luisa Martinez were perfect tools to<br />
show how food and moves can reduce pressure.
„SCHOOL OF ROCK“<br />
Improve your move with music<br />
It’s always easier to start things if you have fun with it. Music<br />
makes people move without thinking about. They just have<br />
to learn to get into the music and don’t think about how<br />
exhausting the movements are or if they are the first one or<br />
the last one in a sports competition. As music is rhythm –<br />
mostly- it is a perfect tool to improve students’ skills in<br />
concentrating on something and their fellow students.<br />
Jens Thomas, musician, put “Improve your move with music”<br />
with his project “School of Rock” into practice. The students<br />
loved it and moved a lot.
”DANCING SCHOOL”<br />
All students of the NMS Krems had workshops with a<br />
choreographer and Patrick Jurdic as preparation for a great<br />
public Performance.<br />
Patrick Jurdic is an Austro-Croatian singer who rose to<br />
popularity after winning "Hrvatski Idol 2", a Croatian version<br />
of "Pop Idol". He also took part in the austrian casting show<br />
"Starmania" and reached the top-12.<br />
The students liked this activity very, very much – although<br />
they had to work very hard and to make real efforts.<br />
And.....they all love Patrick!!

Tests
PEDOWALKS<br />
A group of students from each school used pedometers for 4<br />
weeks and counted how many steps they has walked each<br />
day. The goal was to make a virtual tour to the partner<br />
schools.<br />
25 students from the Freiherr-vom-Stein-Realschule walked<br />
5.261 km in 4 weeks. They needed 4.114 km for their virtual<br />
way from Düsseldorf via Moers, Gamleby, Krems and back<br />
home to Düsseldorf.<br />
That makes 63,4 km per week.<br />
At the end they had 1.147 km over!<br />
21 students and 2 teachers from Gamleby walked in 4 weeks<br />
3930 km. That is 42 km per week per person.<br />
When they came back home they had still 309 km over.<br />
They walked this route:<br />
Gamleby, Växjö, Malmö, Köpenhamn, Odense, Lübeck,<br />
Hamburg, Bremen, Düsseldorf, Moers, Köln, Frankfurt, Linz,<br />
Wien, Krems, Prag, Dresden, Berlin, Sassnitz, Bornholm,<br />
Ystad, Kristianstad, Karlskrona, Kalmar, Gamleby<br />
21 students from Moers walked in 4 weeks 5007 km. That is<br />
50,07 km per week per person.<br />
They walked this route:<br />
Moers, Köln, Frankfurt, München, Salzburg, Krems, Krakau,<br />
Gdingen, Karlskrona, Västervik, Kopenhagen, Hamburg,<br />
Berlin, Dresden, Weimer, Essen, Moers.<br />
25 students from Krems walked 3.906,4 km.<br />
Their route:
STEP TEST<br />
Nearly all students took part on step tests.<br />
The results should be integrated in the Coolaskola<br />
questionaire.<br />
INSTRUCTION FOR STEP TEST:<br />
Start by weighing each person.<br />
The bench should be 33 centimeters high.<br />
Dampen the inside of the contact surfaces of the transmitter<br />
belts. Put the belts around the lower part of the rib cage.<br />
Clean them between each use.<br />
Step up with your left or right leg first (1), then the other leg<br />
and straighten your knees (2), step down (3), (4).<br />
Set a metronome on the frequency 90 (steps/minute) and<br />
every operation 1,2,3,4 is then performed at each “click” of<br />
the metronome (one step/click).<br />
The test will take app 6 minutes and 12 minutes at the most.<br />
You measure the pulse every minute. Use a pulse clock.<br />
The objective is to keep on going until you reach steady<br />
state, that is when the pulse is stable (save for 3 beats)<br />
during 2 minutes. This happens when the body has decided<br />
how much oxygen is needed for this particular work. Not<br />
more than 3 people on one bench - otherwise the pulse<br />
clocks will interfere with each other.<br />
Interrupt if a person´s pulse exceeds 180 beats/minute.
COOLASKOLA-<br />
QUESTIONNAIRE<br />
The Cool school questionnaire is an online-survey tool for<br />
measuring the health status in schools.<br />
Students can test their health habits and knowledge and also<br />
compare to see if they are healthier than last year and can<br />
follow their health development,<br />
Teachers can use the web based analysis tool H-Ray to<br />
measure pupils health and knowledge about health related<br />
issues. They can compare with previous years and with other<br />
classes.<br />
During the project the website has been translated into<br />
english and test groups checked it for errors and<br />
improvements.<br />
