In many Western schools, sports day is a big event. Children take part in competitive sports, trying to break school records and take the first place.
Sports days, or sports meetings are usually held in the warmer seasons, either at the beginning or at the end of the school year. They are also called field days.
Primary school sports days are fun. They usually have activities such as the egg and spoon race and the sack race. Other events include the skipping race and the three-legged race. In middle and high school, sports days include many of the common tracks and field events. They are more serious and competitive than primary schools.
Students’ parents and other relatives also come to the school on sports day. They watch children play. Many schools in the west have ‘mothers and fathers’ races for parents to take part in!
Although sports days are exciting, they also have some problems. According to some reports in the USA, sports days have become too competitive for students. Some parents put too much pressure on their children. Some schools don’t have ‘mothers and fathers’ races any more as there is much fighting and cheating.
