Ancient Greek children enjoyed many toys and games. Popular toys included rattles, dolls, toy carts, yo-yos, and teetotums. Common games included swinging on swings, see-saws, hopscotch, hoop rolling, tag, blind man's bluff, ball games like an early form of football called episkyros, and competitive jumping and ball throwing games. Sports were an important part of Greek culture and many modern sports originated from ancient Greek pastimes. Archaeological findings provide evidence of the toys and games that entertained Greek youth.

Περίληψη
Το πρόγραμμά μας ξεκίνησε με την εκδήλωση ευαισθητοποίησης νεολαίας για την ελιά και το ελαιόλαδο που διοργανώθηκε από τον Σύνδεσμο Ελαιοκομικών Δήμων Κρήτης (Σ.Ε.ΔΗ.Κ) και τον Δήμο Γόρτυνας, την οποία παρουσιάσαμε στον χώρο του σχολείου μας στις 12/12/2015. Η εκδήλωσή μας χωρίστηκε σε δύο μέρη: α. Η ελιά στην αρχαιότητα με την φιλονικία Αθηνάς και Ποσειδώνα (θεατρικό δρώμενο) και τους Ολυμπιακούς αγώνες στην αρχαιότητα (ψυχοκίνηση) και β. Η ελιά σήμερα: Το μάζεμα της ελιάς (ψυχοκίνηση), ποίηση Οδ. Ελύτη, Κ. Παλαμά και παιδικά ποιήματα, παροιμίες, αινίγματα και τραγούδια από τα παιδιά. Επίσης είχαμε έκθεση ζωγραφικής, φωτογραφίας και εικαστικών έργων των παιδιών καθώς και έκθεση γευσιγνωσίας με παραδοσιακά εδέσματα ελαιόλαδου. Στη συνέχεια επισκεφθήκαμε το παλαιό ελαιοτριβείο της Γέργερης όπου είδαμε τα στάδια παραγωγής ελαιόλαδου τον προηγούμενο αιώνα αλλά και στα αρχαία χρόνια με το μνημείο του ελαιοτριβείου του Ήρωνα. Επισκεφθήκαμε το Κέντρο Περιβαλλοντικής Εκπαίδευσης Αρχανών και παρακολουθήσαμε το πρόγραμμα για την ελιά με θέμα "Είμαι του ήλιου η θυγατέρα, η πιο από όλες ξακουστή" και είδαμε τη μνημειακή ελιά Πανασού, μια ελιά εκατοντάδων ετών. Επισκεφθήκαμε τον Σύλλογο γυναικών Γέργερης, φτιάξαμε και γευθήκαμε παραδοσιακά εδέσματα ελαιόλαδου και τέλος παρακολουθήσαμε έναν καλλιτέχνη που δημιουργεί κατασκευές από ξύλο ελιάς.

Object Lesson - Turkey Feathers of ThanksgivingKen Sapp
Thanksgiving Day was first celebrated in the American Plymouth colony in 1621, when Governor William Bradford proclaimed a day of thanksgiving and prayer. Before that, a Native American named Squanto taught the pilgrims how to plant corn and how to survive in the new land. When the harvest came, it was celebrated by all the colonists and neighboring Native Americans who had helped them. Gradually it became a common annual custom to celebrate thanksgiving after the harvest. While turkeys were known to the colonists and Indians, we don't have any proof they were served at the first thanksgiving. But they were added later as part of the celebration that continues until today. Long before that, the Isrealites has a similar feast day to Thank God for what he had done for them. It was called the Feast of Tabernacles and can be found in Leviticus 23:33-44; Numbers 29:12-39; Deuteronomy 16:13. The games in this lesson use feathers, not only because they are associated with Thanksgiving, but also because there are places in the Bible where God is compared to a protective bird who covers us with his wings.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. TOYS AND GAMES IN ANCIENT GREECE – 13TH
PRIMARY SCHOOL OF
ILION- TRANSLATED BY MARIA GKOUGKOUTSI
‘Through the pleasure of games they learn’ wrote Plato in his book
Laws
Playing had always been vitally important to Greek people, that’s
why they used to bury their dead with their favourite toys and
games believing that playing and gaming relaxes and entertains
people even in Ades.
3. SISTRUM
The first toy of an infant was the seistron (sistrum) or platage,
known to us as rattle. It came in various shapes of people or
animals and was used for keeping evil away.
4. DOLLS AND PUPPETS
The plaggones (dolls) often had movable limbs and were then
called neurospasto (meaning puppet). In many cases they were
naked, in order for girls to be able to dress them up. Plaggones
from bone and clay have been found but cloth, wax and wood
were also used
5. ATHYRMATA
Boys used to play with effigies of charriots drawn by horses, called
athyrmata.
6. AIORA
A popular game was the aiora (swing) and a variation, vrachionios
aiora (the see-saw)
7. CHARRIOTS
A popular game with boys were the charriots. They
were either drawn by dogs or by the boys
themselves. Also, they rode a cane or a stick
pretending to be riding a horse.
8. EIS OMILLAN
The older boys of the gang played the eis omillan, namely
teams. Having drawn a circle on the ground and standing
on a specific point they tried to throw their knuckles in the
circle. They had agreed beforehand upon having ten
attempts. The winner got to draw the circle, decide on its
diameter and the point of throw.
9. The gygx. Two holes are opened on a wooden, normally, discus, double thread
is inserted, and after the discus is rotated, the thread is tightened or slackened.
The sound produced reminds us of a bird, the iygga, namely the anteater,
which the game was named after.
The yo-yo. Another movable toy is the yo-yo, as it is called nowadays. It
consists of two terracotta discs decorated with circles and joined together with a
small cylinder.
10. Another toy involving movement is the teetotum. The
Ancient Greeks called it strombo and strovilos or rhombus
(because of its shape) and vomvykia (because of the sound
it produces while spinning).
11. PENTELITHA
This game was for limitless participants. Each
child had five pebbles near his feet. The
players threw a pebble up in the air and had to
pick up another pebble from the ground before
catching it.
12. KRIKILASIA
Krikilasia or wheel (modern-day hoop)
was a very popular game. The hoop
was often wooden and rolled after
being hit with a stick.
13. The players nail a pole with a hole in the middle into the ground. They
put a rope through the hole and two players tie its ends round their
waist so that they cannot face each other. Pulling hard they try to make
their opponent come close to the pole. This game can be played with
more players tied to each end of the rope.
15. They blindfolded a child with a scarf and he said ‘ a chalki fly I will
chase’ . The others replied ‘ you will chase it but you will not catch it’
and hit him with their belts until he caught another child.
16. Akinetinda. Once the players hear the cue they
have to stay still in whichever position they are.
The first to move is expelled from the game.
17. Apodidraskinda. A player closes his eyes and the others
run to hide. The player opens his eyes and looks for them.
Every time he finds a player, he must run back to his
original place first or else he loses.
18. Kollavizein. A player covers his eyes standing up. Another player hits
him and asks him with which hand he did it.
19. Jumping rope
Askolismos. The players jumped on an oiled, stuffed sack
on one leg and tried to keep their balance.
20. Askolismos.They used to play several variations.
They compete in
Who will jump farther on one leg
Who will achieve more jumps on one leg
A player chases the others jumping on one leg
21. Sphairiseis, namely games played with a ball. The ball was originally
made of various threads and later on of leather strips stitched together
and stuffed with hairs or feathers. It was soft and flexible.
The episkyros, a game played in ancient Greece since 2000B.C, is
regarded as the forerunner of modern-day football. Other sports, like
basketball, volleyball, polo, handball etc come from ancient Greece.
22. Aporraxis or anakrousia. The players hit the ball hard
against the ground in order to make it bounce. Afterwards,
they catch it to hit it yet again. The player who hits the ball
the most wins. Sometimes they hit the ball against the wall
and have to catch it before it hits the ground. This game is
played by one or two players.
23. In another game, the boys threw the ball through the mouth
of a vessel, something like modern-day basketball. The
defeated had to carry the winner on his back. This was
called ‘ephedrismos’.
24. The kerretizein (from the word Keras which means bat)
was played with a bat and is the forerunner of field hockey.
25. Arpaston. A group of children or adolescents threw the ball up in the air
and tried to catch it by jumping up pushing each other away.
26. Episkyros. The players formed two teams behind a line
drawn on the ground with a skyron (pointy pebble), after
which the game was named. The aim of each team was to
throw the ball over the opponents hitting it hard. The
opponents had to change its course and send it back. The
winners got one point. The losers had to go through
‘ephedrismos’.
27. Ceramic plaque of the Archaic era found in Korinth. The
depiction reminds us of modern-day baseball. The bearded
man is holding a rod ready to hit something (apparently a
ball) and a young man next to him is holding a ball.
