An e-Twinning Project
My Favourite Sports and Games is an e-Twinning project designed in order for different countries to come together to
discuss and present their unilateral love of sports and games. The four countries currently involved are: Croatia, Italy,
Slovakia and Turkey. The project is currently under-way with students joining international groups with the same likes (i.e.
football, swimming etc) to discuss with each other how they will present their sport.
This magazine is just a little extra side-project which the students can read and enjoy with their other friends

My Favourite Sports and Games project was started in mid-March by Slovakia and Turkey. The idea was to get
students to communicate with each other about their favourite sports and games and then to present them on
TwinSpace in whatever format they decided (slideshows, photographs, video, web links etc). Shortly after we
were joined by Italy and Croatia and the project got underway. Firstly each student produced a slideshow to
introduce themselves and tell everyone a little about their hobbies and sports/games and who, in the sportsworld,
they liked, be it a team or an individual.
After this the students were then encouraged to start communicating with each other, either using forums or via
live chat sessions. This was so the students could firstly practice their English communcation skills and secondly
start to form groups of similar likes in order to work on presentations about the sports they have in common.
The end product is to create multi-lateral presentations concerning sports, games and the healthy lifestyles
associated with these so as to give all students and teachers a more positive outlook towards health and sports.
The students also showed interest in producing a magazine that they could contribute to and show their
classmates and thus that brings us here . To our international magazine for My Favourite Sports and Games.
Thanks to all the students and teachers involved in this project witjh a special thank you to Saban CananHead
Teacher of Krklareli Merkez Ticaret Meslek Lisesi for allowing his students to participate.

Dear young e-twinners who combine the beauty of
e-twinning with their keen enthusiasm and all the kind
teachers of Krklareli who made time for this project.I am writing this, not as an ending to a project, but as a new
beginning to a bright future, as we sow the seeds of a new
era.
Today the new generation are not only scholars but are
embracing the cultures of the world around them and this
project-closing magazine is proof of this.
The work that has been put into this project is important but
the friendships that have been made and the cultural bridges
that have been crossed must surely be of more importance.
The aim of e-twinning is to assist students on their voyagethrough the virtual world of friendships, and this projectshows that this is possible.
Being a European is not a degeneration process but an
understanding and respect of other cultures so as to embrace
each nation on their own terms, and the e-twinning projects
are the best way to introduce our youth to this.
The Our Favourite Sports and Games project gave thestudents a chance to work in teams and the responsibilities
that are involved in team-work. We must applaud these
students for facing this challenge where so many others
would not.
We must thank the teachers involved for making the time to
work on this as we know they have busy schedules, surelythis is an epic saga.
While most people are scratching their heads thinking what
e-twinning is, this group from Krklareli have successfullycompleted this project. Because of this I, as an employee of
the R&D Unit of the Education Department and antwinningcoordinator, am very thankful.
I think that the students involved will be eager to start more
projects and their friends will want to be involved too. I wish
all those on this e-twinning project health, love, happiness
and keep up the sports until we meet in the next project.
Hasan Hseyin KOAR

Oil wrestling is a traditional
Turkish sport. In fact it is
Turkeys national sport. Thewrestlers wear leather or
buffalo skin tight trousers.
The wrestlers are lubricated
with olive oil. This makes it
difficult to grip and hold
your opponent, because ofthis, oil wrestling is a sport
that requires great strength
and skill. Each year, in June,
at the historic district of
Edirne they hold the annual
wrestling event called
Krkpnar, it is the oldestcontinuing sporting event in
the world. Almost 1,000
entrants from throughout
Turkey compete in a three-day elimination tournament.
The year 1360 is adapted by
the organizers of the Edirne
Krkpnar as the dateOttoman soldiers started to
organize annual oil-wrestling
tournaments in Krkpnarand it is held to
commemorate the heroism of
the conquering warriors
The legendary oilwrestler
Kurtdereli Mehmet, an oil-
wrestler from the village of
Kurtdere, was famous all
over the world. Mehmet
said in an interview in 1931
that he pictured the Turkish
nation supporting him in
every match. He pleased
president Mustafa Kemal
Atatrk very much with his
words.

Unlike Olympic wrestling, oil
wrestling matches may be won
by achieving an effective hold
of the kisbet. Thus, the pehlivan
aims to control his opponent by
putting his arm through the
latter's kisbet. To win by this
move is called paa kazk
Originally, matches had no set
duration and could go on for
one or two days, until one man
was able to establish
superiority, but in 1975 the
duration was capped at 40
minutes for the baspehlivan and
30 minutes for the pehlivan
category. If no winner is
determined, another 15 minutes
(10 minutes for the pehlivancategory) of wrestling ensues,
wherein scores are kept to
determine the victor

Handballis a team sport
with the ball, which is
competing with two teams
with 7 players ( 6 field
players + 1 goalkeeper)
on each side, the main goal
of the game, is ball hit the
goal area so marked, the ball
is between the player adds
his hands like a basketball,
but with a slyghtly smaller
ball, and with different rules
of keeping the ball
Anja KRUSELJ
One of the most popular
sport in Croatia is handball.
Our team is in enviable
shape.
We have many medals.
Handball is a team sport inwhich two teams of seven
players each (six outfield
players and a goalkeeper)pass a ball to throw it into
the goal of the other team.
The team with the most
goals after two periods of
30 minutes wins.
Guberac IRIS
HandBall
Croatias National Sport
Goals are scored quitefrequently; usually both teams
score at least 20 goals each,
and it is not uncommon for
both teams to score more than
30 goals. This was not true in
the earliest history of the
game, when the scores were
more akin to that of ice
hockey[clarification needed].
But, as offensive play has
improved since the late 1980s,particularly the use of
counterattacks (fast breaks)
after a failed attack from the
other team, goal scoring has
increased.
Natalija KELEMINEC

The game is quite fast and includes
body contact as the defenders try tostop the attackers from approaching
the goal.
Any contact from the side or
especially from behind is
considered dangerous and is usually
met with penalties.
Modern handball is usually played
indoors, but outdoor variants existin the forms of field handball and
beach handball (also called sand-
ball)

and won by the S. Udinese
G.S. team from Udine (north
east Italy, Friuli-Venezia
Giulia Region). In 1897, a
second national gymnastic-
football tournament was
staged by the FNGI and waswon by S.G. Torinese. In 1898
the Federation Italienne du
Football (FIFFIGC) wasfinally formed and the first
national championship was
organized, with regional
tournaments and playoffs. This
is considered to be the first
proper national football
championship and was won by
Genoa.
The Italian national team,
calledAzzurri orsquadra
azzurra for their blue shirts,
are the second-most successful
national team in the world.
During the 1970s to early
1990s Italy became famous for
theircatenaccio, thus herald-
ing a long line of world class

In 1929 the first officialtournament took place in
Slovakia. The Tatra Cup is
the second oldest
tournament in Europe, after
the Spengler Cup in
Switzerland. The firstorganization of Slovak ice
hockey was established
under the name of
Slovensk upakanadskho adovhohokeja as a part of theSlovak Ice Hockey
Federation in what was
then Czechoslovakia.
This kind of sport is, for
me, optimal. Ice hockey is
fast, creative and impulsive
game. I like on this sport
creativity and individualityfor some players, but the
best adrenalin for watch is
some skirmish or full
hockey fight.
Marian KOPUN
Ice Hockey
Slovakias National Sport
Ice hockey is a team sportplayed on ice, in which
skaters use their sticks to hit a
puck into the opponent's net.
It is a fast-paced physical
sport. Ice hockey is most
popular in areas that are
sufficiently cold for natural
reliable seasonal ice cover,
such as Canada, the Czech
Republic, Latvia, the Nordiccountries (especially Finland
and Sweden), Russia,
Slovakia, Slovenia, Germany,
Austria, Switzerland, and the
northern latitudes of the
United States.
The first organized competition
was held in 1930.Throughout the course of ice
hockey history in
Czechoslovakia, many Slovak
players became eligible to play
for the Czechoslovakian
national team. Among thosewho were able achieve this was
Ladislav Trojk; A native of
Koice who left for Prague toplay for the LTC Prahaatthose times considered to be the
best ice hockey team in thecountryin 1934. From therehe was only a step away from
playing for the national team.
Czechoslovakia and its
successor states are rated as
being among the leading nationson the international scene,
thanks to their triumphs in the
Winter Olympic Games and the
World Championships.

Backgammon is one of theoldest board games for two
players. The playing pieces
are moved according to the
roll of dice, and players win
by removing all of their
pieces from the board. Thereare many variants of
backgammon, most of which
share common traits.
Backgammon is a member of
the tables family, one of theoldest classes of board
games in the world.
Although luck is involved
and factors into the outcome,
strategy plays a more
important role in the longrun. With each roll of the
dice players must choosefrom numerous options for
moving their checkers and
anticipate possible counter-
moves by the opponent.
Players may raise the stakes
during the game. There is anestablished repertoire of
common tactics and
occurrences.
Like chess, backgammon has
been studied with greatinterest by computer
scientists. Owing to this
research, backgammon
software has been developed
capable of beating world-
class human players.
Atatrk enjoyed books and music
as well as dancing, horse riding
and swimming. He was
extremely interested in Zeybek
dances, wrestling and the
Rumelia folk songs. Games of
billards and backgammon gavehim great pleasure.
Backgammon is still a very popular game in Turkey, and it is customary to name the dice rolls with their Persian numbernames: yek (1), d (2), se (3), cehar (4), penc (5), e (6).
Backgammon (Tavla)
The objective is to remove(bear off) all of one's own
checkers from the board
before one's opponent can do
the same. The checkers are
scattered at first and may be
blocked or hit by the
opponent. As the playing
time for each individual
game is short, it is often
played in matches, where
victory is awarded to the firstplayer to reach a certain
number of points.
Turkeys Traditional Game
Backgammon
playing pieces are
known variously as
checkers, draughts,
stones, men,
counters, pawns, or

Croatias Traditional Game
Picigin
Picigin (pronounced "pih-tsih-gheen") is an amateur sport game
played on some beaches in
Croatia and Montenegro, but
also widely popular in Novi Sad,
Serbia where it is being played
on a Danube river beach. It is
played with a ball. In Croatia, itis very popular, especially in
Dalmatia and Split, where it is
played by people of all ages and
both sexes. Since some years ago
the game has been exported to
other places like Cala Graci in
Ibiza.
DescriptionThe game involves several
players in a circle passing around
a small ball and keeping it in theair and out of the water for aslong as possible. As such, the
game somewhat resembles
volleyball but it is played with a
much smaller ball, the size of a
tennis ball. There are usually five
players and much running and
diving in the shallow water.
Picigin is a non-competitive
sport: there are no opposing
sides, no points, neither winners
nor losers. It is a relaxing game
where players start slowly andspeed up when they want to. In
the heat of the game, players are
forced to run fast through the
water and make acrobatic
manoeuvres to keep the ball inplay. Players don't catch the ball,
they bounce it around with the
palm of the hand.
RulesSince picigin is an amateur
sport, there are no strict or
formal rules, but it is playedaccording to tradition, with
little variation.
Players
There are 5 players in the
game. Two of them arecalledsidruni (sidro =anchor, they are called so
because they do not move
from their places) and the
other three are runners
(trkai). The groups are oftenmixed both by gender and
age.
Terrain
Picigin must be played on a
sandy beach in shallowwater. The beach must be
sandy because otherwise
players could easily get hurt.
It's best if the water is
nkle-deep, because of
mobility and also to softenfalls, which are common
because there's a lot of
jumping around trying to
reach the ball.
Ball
The traditional ball, called
balun (otherwhise a dialecticname for a ball, but this
name is strictly used,
especially by expert players)
in picigin is actually a peeled
tennis ball, polished off a
few milimetres. This kind ofball is best suited for
bouncing. It is smooth and
lighter than a normal tennis
ball.

Italys Traditional Game
Briscola
Briscola is a trick taking
game - that is, the objectof the game is to take
cards which gives you (or
your team) a high score. It
is popular in Italy and it
uses the Italian 40 card
deck. It is often playedwith Italian cards, which
have suits of coins, cups,
batons and swords, but
you may play using astandard international 52-
card deck, just byremoving the Jokers,
eights, nines and tens.
Briscola may be played with two, three, four or six players. There is a special version for five players, which is strongly
recommended.
Rank and value of cardsIn order to define which card wins a particular trick, we must first define a card ranking, given from highest to lowest:
ace, three, king, queen, jack, 7, 6, 5, 4, 2. Also, the cards have a point value:ace: 11 points three: 10 points King: 4 points
Queen: 3 points Jack: 2 points
The remaining cards have no point value.
Briscola is often played with
Italian cards with suits ofswords (spade), clubs(bastoni), cups (coppe) andcoins (danari). In this casethe picture cards rank in the
order King (re) (4 points),Horse (cavallo) (3 points),Jack(fante) (2 points). In
North America, Italian cards
in various regional patterns
can be obtained fromTaroBear's Lair
As you see, the total value of
cards in the deck adds up to120 points. The player (or
team) which scores at least
61 points in a game wins.
Games can end in a draw
when both reach the same
point total (60), and usuallyBriscola is played to the best
of three or five games.
Two player BriscolaThe game starts. The first to play is the player to
the right of the dealer. In the two player version,
this means that the non-dealer (A) will start.
A leads one of his three cards, face up.
B plays one of his cards, and wins or loses thetrick according to these three simple rules:
If B plays a card of the same suit as the card led by A, then the
trick is won by whoever played the higher card - the winnertakes both cards away, and puts them, face down, in a pile near
him.
If B plays a card which has a different suit from the card which
A led, but neither card is a Briscola (trump), A wins the trick,
and the cards will go to A, even if B's card was of higher rank.
If B plays a card of a different suit from A's, and one of thecards is a Briscola (trump), then the player of the Briscola wins
the trick.

Slovakias Traditional Game
Mari
Mari is the most popular cardgame in the Czech Republic and
in Slovakia. It is closely related
to the Hungarian game Ulti.
Mari is a point trick game of themarriage group played with the Czech
32-card German suited pack. The basic
and most popular version of is for three
players, but it can also be played by
four or (as a last resort) by two. In the
three-player game, in each hand one
player plays alone against the other
two in partnership. Normally the lone
player's objective is to win more card
points than the other two players
together; card points are obtained for
winning aces and tens in tricks,
for winning the last trick, and for
holding the king and the over-knave of
a suit together in your hand. There are
bonuses for winning the last trick with
the trump seven and for taking 100 or
more card points, and the value of
these bonues can be increased by
announcing in advance in advance that
you are playing for them. As an
alternative to playing to win card
points, it is possible for a player toundertake a contract whose objective is
to win all the tricks or to lose all the
tricks.
The 32 card pack consists of four suits: hearts or red (erven), bells or balls (kule), acorns (aludy) and leaves or green (zelen),
each with eight cards: ace (eso), king (krl), over-knave (svrekorfilek), under-knave (spodek), 10 (deset), 9 (devt), 8 (osm), 7(sedm).
The player to the dealer's left isknown as forehand(forhont).Forehand receives extra cards in the
deal, chooses the trump suit, and is
the lone player in the event that a
trump contract is played.The dealer gives a packet of seven
cards face-down to forehand, andcontinues dealing clockwise in
packets of five, so that after two
rounds of dealing forehand has 12
cards and the other two players each
have 10
The lone player leads to the first trick.Each trick is won by the highest trumpin it, or if it contains no trumps, by the
highest card of the suit led. Any card
can be led to a trick, but the other
players are forced to follow suit, to
trump if unable to follow, and to head
the trick whenever possible subject tothose rules

GAMES AND TEACHING ENGLISH
In games,there are knowledge,ability participation, adaptation,
sharing, being careful, making decisions, effective and moderate
behaviour.In addition to be successful,to compete,to win and
leadership are the achievements of a game.
We,as educators,know that games provide students with aneducation environment to develop their skills which will be
useful for their future life.
Good learning atmosphere and method can guide the students tolearn more and meaningful. To accomplish such
condition,teacher must create attractive methods for theclass.Games as a matter of fact,can help and encourage many
students to sustain their interest and work.
Playing games is a useful technique when teaching English to
children and adults.Games can help with fluency and with using
the language in a conversational way.Games can be used in alesson,as a review prior to test to intrdoce new garmmar terms
or vocabulary or can serve as way to help students remember
what they have read.
As a teacher of English, I use different kind of games in my
lessons. My students love playing games. Therefore, mystudents do not get bored while learning and I reach my targets
related to teaching English easily.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PROJECTS
The projects, whether done in groups or alone, are a
very important part of the education process.
The students learn better when doing things hands on.
They research when working on it and they learn so
much more than what is even in the textbook. Projects
really broaden their knowledge. The students feel freeand they communicate with each other in a flexibleenvironment.
Our Project helps our students to feel confident. Our
students find a chance to use English outside classroom.
They are eager to learn English, as well. As a
headmaster, I support my students and my teachers totake part in such projects.
