Thank you so much for watching! Hope you enjoyed it! We definitely need to organise some kindof RUclips sports day...even though I wouldn't win at anything. Can Smash Bros be a sport?
Also hey people that explore deep in the description! I'm working on a way to get my merch online. Could take some time though. Looking at Late September. :O

Primary school sports day: Sprinting, obstacle courses and egg & spoon races
Secondary school sports day: The actual Olympics
We only did running
Edit
At secondary
Ikr
we did obstacle course in secondary school aswell lmao
Then why did we have to do 2 mile sprint in primary. 😂
The problem is our school is actually linked to the Olympic council that arranges the actual Olympics so we literally had the Olympics in secondary. It was hell😭
Evan's reaction of just pure "wtf is going on" as the girls and every single British person just freak out at the nostalgia of sport day 😂
Ikr
Definitely the look in his face just reads wtf is happening
As a British 21 year old girl I hated sports day lol 😆
Since Ireland is Ireland we used potatoes for the egg and spoon race, but it was always better because we would get a spoon and potato that fit perfectly onto each other with ease
Yes, potato and spoon race all the way!
Omg yes spud and spoon
sassy squirrel we did that and I'm in Scotland! I was so bad a it
My primary school was next to a golf course so we used golf balls
YASSS did anyone else get those cool pops and everyone wanted coke flavour
I'm American but it was called Field Day. Ours is more like the U.K tbh... And it was at the end of the school year (in May). We had T-Shirts, games, face painting, and you could buy food!
Food that's amazing
we had the same thing in my school, called field day as well. Wish it carried on to high school though
Zane Stoor I wish it would have carried onto middle school and high school
@@crazyclips8280 would've been a good time mate
Yes! This is what we had kinda. Except you couldn’t buy food, every team had a color, each grade has their field day separated from every other grades. All of this was only during elementary. Middle school we never did anything and high school we had a tournament and raised money for charities and it was just clicks of people on their own teams🤷🏻♀️.
We called it Field Day
But then in middle and high school it was Founders day
Millie Bobby Brown is God ours was called the faction carnival and swimming carnival
Millie Bobby Brown is God same
Millie Bobby Brown is God Millie bobby brown is god.
Me too!!!!!
British bulldog: the vicious kids version of American football on concrete were there are no rules 😂
I can never name anything 😳 sounds awful
This was the most dangerous and fun game I ever played we had it banned like 12 times in my primary school we kept re-naming it
@@anyahs9496 omg same😂😂😂😂😂
Wow why did I not know other primary schools did this too
At my school we played on grass, but it was class vs class or year vs year e.g. 30 kids vs 30 kids or 60 8-9 year old vs 60 10-11 year olds.
Ok long story short people treat secondary school sports day as basically the track and field events at the bloody Olympics
Masley I aim to serve, mate
In my school, secondary school sports day, you can't even be invited to watch unless you had certain times and records in P.E
We have to travel 2 hours to even get to our sports day venue. Cheers secondary school, cheers.
I am from America and we had a literal day where we did that called the 5th grade Olympics
Except for me who used to skip it and fake a note from my mum...
If you weren't taking part in a sport on sports day, you sat outside in the boiling hot and dehydrated for 3hours
I'm British btw
Yep I remember sitting in the shade the entire time.
Yeah but my school is literally on the edge of a cliff since it's on an island so theres always a shit ton of breeze
We brought pop up beach tents to sit in and our sports day was on the outside field of the leisure centre next to a park down my road. So I could call my mum and she would bring and all my friends three big boxes of fabs that we shared in our friendship groups and made other people jealous
It was freezing outside
They was always an ice cream at the end though
I HATE sports day. Mostly because
1. My team always loses,
2. I always come last,
3. I hate going outside and,
4. I'm lazy.
LittleGinny same
It's always my least favourite part of the school year.
LittleGinny same my team was ALWAYS last but we were the most positive
ME TOO!!!
I hate it, I don't turn up. If I need to I just hang out with my friends. I don't participate like the lazy piece of crud that I am.
Before sports day we would have an assembly where we sang
"HE'S GOT THE WHOLE WORLD, IN HIS HANDS, HE'S GOT THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD"
*Etc.*
ADAM CHRISTIE we had that every Friday in primary school lmao (I'm Scottish)
oml same but we had to sing every assembly
ADAM CHRISTIE haha sammmme
doodlenoodle omg yes
When we sang this in my primary, in like year 1 to year 4 you'd be singing at the top of your lungs. And when you got to year 5+ you'd just mumble or mouth it... But I was the only one who belt it out, doing all the actions.
Just as a note, a lot of the US call Flag Day field day!
So it's kinda similar!
Also ours had slight competitions with Red VS white vs Blue team.
YEAH COOL HOPE YOU LIKE THE VID
the vid was great very good much enjoy
Such a good video! Love this series❤️
i love this vid and also i think you should go with the first pair you wore
loved it :) I hadn't watched Connie very much before seeing your videos with her, but shes a sweetheart (ive watched dodie for like a year and a half) :)
Thank you so much for being so kind
Evan seems so left out when Dodie and Connie start talking about their memories. 😂😂😂🤣🤣😂
damn those glasses are pretty spec-tacualar
pham
Smh
My friend said that on Dodie's video and Dodie responded and I'm so jelly
Bu dum chu
I wont cry... I'll CRAFT!
I'm from the UK and my secondary school the more you went up in school years the more you disliked Sports days. The seniors would just laze around and not try very hard while the juniors were very competitive with each other. The seniors would hide from taking part in sports day and wish we just had a day of instead. It was interesting to see in our year who was lucky enough to get out of sports day or get out of choosing a team.
Once you get past year 8 no one gives a fuck anymore and it becomes a great day of hiding from teachers
+Evie I literally hated sports day from like year 3😂
I skived off school on sports day in year 9 so I didn't have to do it but it rained and was moved to another day. I still had to do it.
I'm going into year 9 tomorrow 😂 any tips.. other than not dying?
+Lucie Cavalli just have fun (as hard as that might seem) because everything just gets really stressful after because of GCSEs. Also (again as hard as this might seem) try not to laugh at the year 7s with their massive Blazers with the buttons done up because to them you're really scary.
The bleep test is the devil.
sounds like our Pacer is the same as your Bleep.
I got to TEN for the most.......im so unfit i cant Dx
I have seen people collapse over the bleep test. It is hell
India Curtis-Roberts Literally only the braggers would win in mine...it was so unfair too, as the SAME person would win every year...
...And he was MUCH shorter than everyone else
Penguin Princess Ikr it felt like my brain was going to burst out of my head.....yet i had only made it to 10. (im seriously unfit like SERIOUSLY!)
7:13 why did Evan turn British when he said 'what' 😂😂
I’ve just discovered his channel and binged a ton of his videos, his accent is very british lol.
@@Backflipgal12 Funnily enough, I think his accent isn't incredibly British (I am British)
@@Backflipgal12 same 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Backflipgal12 are you kidding, he’s one of the most American fellas I’ve ever heard
@@Backflipgal12 think you need to watch more channels with Brits. Some of his words are stereotypes of the British accent but mostly he's pure American 🇺🇸
"have you ever had a bad spots day" yes every time
Greg Moss our team McEwen always *ALWAYS* looses like we're the joke of the school it's always Adamson and Poilding who won and sometimes Mcloucghlin
The only answer is yes. I'm a terrible runner and we only do running
Emily Devlin WHAT!! Since I was 5 it's been straight up tears and fights. And i live in England
same how did connie and dodie like sports day!!!
Christian Moss
I cried once during our sports day. :/
Sports day was a terrifying, traumatic experience that I loathed
Going outside and playing is so much better than Sports Day
Going outside and playing is so much better than Sports Day
And I was good at running so I had to do the sprint.
I know how you feel
Owlabout Everything anxiety levels were off the scale
I was so confused when you called it flag day I was like what fun thing did I miss!? We called it field day!
It's legit the same thing. Different states call it definitely but mostly call it field day.
We called it the Track Meet. Sometimes Track day.
+Melissa Lewis I believe we called it track day as well in middle school. At the end we always had a tug of war with other classes. So fun.
same I lived in North Carolina and Virginia and we called it field day
Yeah we called it field day at my old schools. Coming up with team names was fun
I had houses in my high school, Welsh words for the elements:
Daear (green) -Earth
Tân (red) -fire
Dŵr (blue)-Water
Aer (yellow)-Air
And we got points from Sports day and Eisteddfodd, where the winning house would be announced
Abigail W hey fellow army
In comp We had
Tydfil (purple)
Sanan (blue)
Mabon (yellow)
Cadog (green I think )
Primary it was
Rhymni (white)
Caeach (red)
Allta (green)
Oh, my primary school had Tawe, Llwchwr and Llyr.
My secondary school had Branwen, Caradog, Dylan, Nedd and another I cant remember the name.
We just had the house colours in welsh......
@@thelord5895 where in Wales,?
I love how all us Americans are like “wait... wait so it’s not just in Harry Potter???”
I want houses I thought that was just for private schools
@@pianofry1138 nope! Almost every school has them in England
@@pianofry1138 the only secondary schools with houses around here are boarding/public. idk any state funded schools with them
Yes, most of what you see/read about in Harry Potter is based on the British schools system and general British culture. E.g. The OWLs in HP are basically GCSEs, taken in the 5th and final year of secondary
Does anyone remember the song
“ONE MORE STEP ALONG THE WORLD I GO, ONE MORE STEP ALONG THE WORLD I GO. AND ITS FROM THE OLD I TRAVEL TO THE NEW KEEP ME TRAVELING ALONG WITH UUUUUUUUU” lol
Tiegylou 10 WE SANG THAG IN PRIMARY
Yes yes yes yes
Oh no now it's stuck in my head again
Yeeeessssss
Tiegylou 10 UGH OH MY GOD I THOUGHT I ESCAPED THAT SONG WHEN I LEFT PRIMARY
we sang it at least twice a week :(
Oof
"What does it teach you?" Evan-"... Violence is fun."
Oceanwaves252 we always played that game and our school also banned it but we all still played😂 we called it stop
I'm from America and my "sports day" (we called it field day) was more like Connie's and Dodie's than Evan's.
Same.
Same
sports day in the uk was like the olympics to students
Will Charlton true
Will Charlton omg it actually is
Will Charlton yep the most competitive day ever 😂
Will Charlton YES
We even had Chariots of Fire playing at my primary school as we walked onto the field and everyone would slow-mo walk. I think my school was more chill than most on sports day but that's coming from a Nightingale (the house that always won on sports day). I hated most of it apart from the hurdles (which were fun), the standing long jump (which I was marginally better at than most) and the sack race (which I was bloody fantastic at! I always won.)
I was so confused because my school called it field day and we didn't have teams or houses or points because parents didn't want the kids to feel bad if they lost, there were no sports just cheap little games like bean bag toss, also it ended after fifth grade.
me too, except i had one in seventh grade as well
Me too. We had a relay race where we had to put oversized suit jackets on :l
Yep, we had field day too. Every year of elementary school -1st through 4th. Sack races, softball, kickball, Rover, Red Rover as well as bean bag toss, jump rope competition and probably several other things I'm leaving out.
In Australia, we have house colours and even if you lose it hardly effects you. Idk maybe Americans underestimate the resilience of kids
SAME!!!!
i live in Florida and im in 8th grade now but we only did sports day in elementary school (kindergarten-5th grade), and we called it field day. we basically just flopped around thru a field in the 98 degree heat and played tug of war and stuff
Natalie Kira Same! (Field day)
same for North Carolina. I remember the kids who would fake injuries to go inside. I was the one who sat in the bushes, alone, and cried bc I had no friends. Wait, nothing has changed in middle school except i sit underneath desks an cry...lmao
Natalie Kira me too that is exactly how my school is
YES
In elementary school I was super competitive on field day lol
For mine we do 100, 200, 300, 400, 800, 1500m we also have high jump long jump and hurdles.
Queen Macy Xx javelin?
1500m wasnt the worst we had cross country in 23 degree c that is what hell is. Some one had to go to the hospital because they collapses.
3:23 evan is like wtf is going on hahahaha
Evan's look was 'cause of Dodie and Connie's synchronised "I mean". Makes me chuckle when I hear it.
Yup
The only thing competitive about sports day in secondary school was who can make the most realistic excuse to get out of sports day 😂😂
True 😂😂😂
We don't have to do sports day in secondary school XD
honestly
accurate
still waiting for youtuber's sports day!!! hahaha
me to
If becoming a youtuber and befriending them is what it takes to do it, then I will! xD
In my area of America, we call it Field Day. In ours, our homerooms got split in two, so you were just going against your homeroom. We did the usual games like tug o‘ war, space walk races, kick ball, wall ball, wheel barrel relay, and many more. We usually ended the day by heading back up to our classes and watching a movie. A lot of people got checked out after, so there were usually 5-15 people after.
at my school it was called Field Day and there were about 20 activity we could do all around the school at any time and there was inflatables , the gym was opened for anyone to play in we could go on the playground if we wanted and you would compete with ur partner which you got to pick( not mandatory) we got ice cream sandwiches around June
PHAMILY
Sup pham
DONT CRY, CRAFT
Wiktoria cwiek mine was also called field day
We had the same exact thing
I can't get over the fact that Evan sounds like Melman from Madagascar.
Laurel I thought that I recognised the voice was similar
Omg I won't be able to unhear him as Melman now 😂
In secondary school I was yellow
In primary school I was red
In infant school I was
..........

"Cutforth?! LUKE WAS A HOUSE?!" 😂😂😂
Lauren Lees 🌑😂😂😂
What a great way to do an ad!
Yeah, his British olympics video was a good one too.
I know!
Australian 'sport's day' or what we call 'The Athletics carnival' sounds pretty much exactly the same. We had houses and it was a little bit like a mini olympics with all the track and field events, we also had a swimming carnival at the beginning of the school year which is the same kind of deal i.e. 50m, 100m, relay etc...
I confirm this.
Yep same
Aussie m8
Exactly ew I hate the swimming carnival
THE BEEP TEST!!!!! ew gross...never again!
I had field day and we we're able to do whatever and there was lots of games. Lots of getting soaked and a bouncy house.
Me to
At my field day we had stations and we weren't allowed to leave our group
Sounds fun. My field day was a mandatory event where students chose 4 track and field events and then practiced them in gym class the month before. The school made a huge deal about it and it was super competitive.
SpecialA
That was the same with my primary school, we had to stay with our classes but when I was in high school, we went around in year levels and it was split into gender too so like year 12 girls for example was one group and so forth!
In the area of the Midwest United States I’m from it is called Field Day.
In America we had the fitness tests which were awful
Omg the bleep test (UK) is awful
Elsa Kollcinaku the pacer test nearly wanted me to murder my gym teacher I'm from America btw
I hated the fitness gram pacer test!(us)
Presidential fitness awards
sports day is nothing but bad memories for me
also, sports day is soooo different in germany
Same
I have had one REALLY bad sports day
+Pia Katherina OMG ICH HASSE ES bei uns hat es geregnet und wir mussten trotzdem rennen. Ein Junge musste sich übergeben 😂😂😂
Ok first: LITERALLY every sports day I've fallen out with my friends so like second: I relate to your username
I'm Canadian. Our sports day was your last chance to get points for your house before the spirit cup was awarded (a little plaque with the year and house name would be attached to the base of the cup if you won). Our games though we're pretty different. Like throwing rubber chickens into croc pots and transferring water from one pale to the next using only a sponge.
Classic.
What? I also live in Canada, and we do nothing like this. You have houses? What province do you live in? I'm sorry, I'm so weird.
In my old high school they tried to force participation in sports day saying every student needs to sign up for at least one thing... Nah mate stopped falling for that after year 7 🤔
I'm American, and my school has houses. We never talk about the houses, though. The houses are Highland, Regent, Ash, and Van Hise, and they're named after the streets that surround our school. Im in Highland.
lucy stripes it really depends on the school. my friend used to go to a school with houses, and she came to my school like “what is going ON???”
I have houses but only when your in middle school and we had house meetings once a month where we played games
Same.But I'm from Britain
Yh it’s the same here in Scotland but my house was tyrie
lucy stripes yeah most schools in England have houses too
I like watching this trio, they work well together and are hilarious
I live in America and ours was called "field day" on the last day of school where we competed red team vs black team in slip n slide bowling, blindfold trust test, and tricycle riding and the black team ALWAYS won and I was on red :(
is nobody going to comment on the fact that Connie is sm like Zoella 😂
Literally what I was thinking
except hotter
Before the introduction i realy thought it was her for a minute haha
We called "sports day" field day
yeah, we called it field day, too. and we didn't wear red white and blue either
+Luiza Vazquez Yeah. I think maybe our classes got assigned colors, but that's it.
I had field day and our colors were based on grades (5th would be red, 4th would be purple, etc.)
Yea same
+Luiza Vazquez Same, and ours was very competitive
in my school (UK) unless you volunteer you don't have to participate in Sports Day, so if you don't take part you just sit and watch. I've watched it for the past 3 years cos i fail horribly at sports
That is unfairly! 😂 at my school every house and form gets to volunteer but in my form we have to do at least one event and I'm always stuck on 800m
Same
I am from the UK and I unfortunately had to take part
YESS same but we mainly sneak off to the shop while everyone watches and we just walk around the school and find an empty classroom and mess around in there lol
it was madness last sports day as quite a few mitched and went off and the teachers didnt notice
I was the one kid that didn't even come to school on sports day cause I am so bad at sports and then when I got a BFF she came over to my house cause we were so bad at sports
Grapefruit Gaming The only reason I went to mine is cause we get subway after. I didn't even participate in my last one. We don't have medals either, just ribbons.
Grapefruit Gaming I wish I could do that
I also go to a catholic school so all the houses are named after saints.
Does anyone else in Britain go to their local leisure centre for sports day in secondary school and then sit on the stands and watch it like it is the olympics
We did that in high school except I skipped it every year after year 7 because I asked my mum not sign the permission form to say I could go
I remember when I was in Year 3 on sports day I fell over in my sack in the sack race and everyone laughed and I cried that night.
Kate Claessens that's so sad! I wasn't allowed to join in on sports day because I was so bad...
Ryden Was Real it was probably a blessing in disguise
We had to do the potato and spoon instead of the egg and spoon at our primary school as eggs were too 'messy' and we did it with massive ladle-like spoons. I would sit in the line to do that dreading my turn as I was god-awful at it and never failed to drop it less than 7 times. I'm afraid I can't relate to the sack race as I was brilliant at it but, I still feel you.
3:23 WTF! hahaha!
"i mean" - same time, same tone!
How in sync!
lol dodie and Evan looked at her like whatt xDD
Ok I kinda ship Dodie and Connie oops
The Psychopathic Peach they kissed at one point
+What am I Doing with my life omg what when
TheFurCoatThatJiminWoreOnStage on snapchat (they were drunk)
dodie cutforth ah ok
#donnie
5:30 child hood memories running back being left out 😂😂
I'm thinking...a RUclipsr sports day which is similar to the old Disney Channel Olympic Games?! @RUclips pls fund this thanks
YESSSSSSS
this is such a good idea!!!!!
THAT IS SUCH A GOOD IDEA I'M SCREMAING
I mean I was thinking more towards the hunger games but... Yanno
+
Up here in Minnesota, we had Field day in elementary school and you would go outside for basically extended recess but not the whole day and there were bounce houses and races and hurdles and the playground and stuff. At the end you got a snowcone, then you had to go back inside and do math or whatever. I moved in 6th grade to a new district(where 6th was still elementary school and not middle/jr high), and that district didn't do anything at all except for a big "walkathon" around the high schools track for no reason.
Also, the "cool boys" in elementary school would always play wall ball and they wouldn't ever let anyone else play because they thought they were hot shit.
i had field day too in elementary school
i live in New York
Ravon Pearce Nice !
Yes same in Tennessee!
is it me or is it that RED NEVER FRICKING WINS SPORTS DAY
but we win in like other competitions
Lonn Cal YES AT MY SCHOOL TOO AND BLUE OR YELLOW WINS
Lonn Cal I'm on purple and we're a joke to the school sports day we *NEVAR WIN*
Lonn Cal in my primary school, it was either red house or green house who won. I was yellow and we never won
At my school the red house has won sports day for the past five years haha
I am at a catholic school and our houses are:
Matthew: yellow
Mark: green
Luke: blue (the best house)
John: red
After the 4 gospels.
Frankie Newton I like how they’re always different names but the same colours
We had trees
Frankie Newton I went to a very Christian primary school and we had: Patrick, David, Luke and George
i go to a Jesuit secondary school in england and we have 8 houses
Campion (green)
Fisher (red)
Hurtardo (Orange)
Loyola (Dark blue)
More (Light blue)
Owen (dark green)
Southwell (yellow)
Xavier (Purple) My house
They're all named after saints
British sports day is pretty much the same as Australian sports day (but our school calls it athletics day)
Edit: we also have a swimming day but we don’t have a pool so we walk to the local one (it takes like 10 minutes)
Hi im aussie did you do cross country run as well. We did.
I absolutely hated cross country
Yh we have a swimming day but you dont have to do it
In my school you don't have to participate in sports day, you can just sit in the crowd and watch. But it's the uk so always bloody raining :((
Indigo Hill
Yh but the people who don't take part have to go to all their lessons except for two 😂 ours our in a couple of weeks I'm taking part in two sports so no lessons for me lol
and im just here as a german, having no idea what sports day is. its not like Bundesjugendspiele right?
+Emmi colourful youths play
+Evan Edinger well you're almost correct, colorful is bunt but this is bund. Bundesjugendspiele are 'nationwide youth Games' idek
Yeah I think it is like that tbh
ich hab irgendwie schon an bundesjugendspiele gedacht aber irgendwie klingt das hier lustiger und weniger goal oriented. und wir hatten ja keine teams oder sowas sondern jeder für sich im kampf um die siegerurkunde
War ich einfach zu unsportlich, wenn ich nie von den Bundesjugendspielen gehört habe? :D
for my school we had green and yellow etc houses and for lessons like maths they were together and red and blue were together so it was like y and x side. we also had house classes for things like music
everyone in my school: what did you run for sports day?
me: I rAn ThE iCe CrEaM sTaNd
I COULD SO REALTE WITH CONNIE AND DODIE!!!!! 😍😂☺️😊😋🤗🤗
I had beep tests too and those were terrifying!!! 0.0
I KNOW RIGHT
OMG THOSE WERE THE WORST
+Rowan Duck (JustDuck) wow, it's literally walking.
What did you guys get
Omg I hate bleep tests
This guy loves English women.
One year ago and no reply yet.
Congrats on the heart! :D
@@Kazavop especially cuz there’s over 200 likes, no replies of surprising
I think they were sharing a flat when this was filmed
Our field day was like a day of activities/stations you got to and do once each. There was climbing the ropes and net in the gym & some ropes to swing on. There was a bubbles station, I think maybe some kinda weird race station like maybe a crab walk or something. The best station was the parachute one or whatever, where they have that big circular rainbow cloth/sheet thing you shake around and throw balls ontop of and stuff. And at the end of the day I think we just hung out on the middle school's track(it bordered our elementary school's field). There might've been an optional relay race on there but I don't remember that well.
Oh and it was usually at the end of May. Last day of school was June 6th most years
go to* (Swype typo)
The parachute was definitely the best part! We would always try to see how high we could bounce a ball or something in the air, or have someone holding a bag and have them try to catch the ball we were bouncing in the bag
we called it field day or at my elementary school, "buddy field day." You had to partner up with another person and they gave you a card to staple on your back with a list of games. Every time you completed an activity someone would hole-punch the thing on the list. I hated it bc i didn't have many friends in my glasses and wasn't very fit either. We didn't have teams and it wasn't competitive at all, like Evan said it was like an extended recess. I hated field day from my experience haha.
*classes not glasses
sameee
I'm sure loads of ppl would of liked to be ur friend:)
#AwEsOmE persona aw thanks
+Tess Gonzalez no problem I'm only telling the truth 😂😎👏⭐️😂👏😎⭐️😂👏😎⭐️
IM SORRY BUT CONNIES FACE WHEN EVAN MENTIONED HORNETS 😂😂😂
9:38
I'm American (private scool) we had field day, and it was more similar to the British sports day than Evan's Flag day.
Primary school : Jupiter / Saturn / Venus / Mars
Secondary school : you against everyone who wasn't in your form , at a proper sports field , and me destroying everyone at shotput because I'm the only one who practiced . ;)
aardvarkthedog2005 woof omg same.
for primary school we had Venus Saturn and mars I was in Venus we always won the houspoint cup and Saturn would win sports and mars (red) just well tried
I destroyed at javelin, because literally no one else trained at it (also 800)
It's so weird you all had houses did y'all go to fuckin' hogwarts what is this shit I'm so jealous
I KNOOOOOW
British schools literally just seem like Harry Potter but without magic
Nah, I'm pretty sure all british schools have houses, but the house names are unique to each school. I went to a tiny primary school (about 200 pupils) and a tiny secondary school (about 700 pupils) and we had houses. They work pretty much the same way the houses work in Harry Potter, only replace the magic with winning competitions and doing good deeds
I feel left out because I'm British and in primary and secondary school we never had houses.
Sarah Green oh really? whereabouts are you from?
We called it field day and just kinda had fun outside in 1st- 5th grade. We had teams in middle school (kinda sorta like houses. But more Americanized. And that was past field day) I was on Extreme and Alpha. Because 'MERICA!
Lisa Wanless I
In my primary school ,we had 4 house teams. Red, yellow ,blue and green. The Red and Blue were like the really competitive teams , the yellows were sort of competition and the greens were like the hufflepuffs (I was in Green💚) as they were really soft and never won. Whichever team one the sports day cup would have their team colour engraved into this trophie with all the other previous winners.
Fuck! Sports day in Ireland is go out and do these random sports and no one really kinda wants to be there and we get ice cream. And fucking houses? No we have *literally* nothing
it was not competitive
The potatoe and spoon race! We always got loop the loops and it was the best
+Jessica Gaynor Yeah the 6th class organised the sports day and I remember just doing like soccer or something for my group and just not paying attention to what the kids were doing XF
This is the same as Scotland!!
LOL!!😂😂 Our secondary school would kick us outta school of to some staduim in the city leaving all the older kids to have exams in peace. Worst bit about leaving school was how long ppl took to get there. We litrally needed 6 coaches and if u got there first or last ud be waiting till ur bones got stiff af. Sa
We called it field day. And in middle school we have assigned colors based on homeroom and in elementary you wear purple because of a cancer charity or something
I'm American, but I never had flag day! We called it field day and it was always at the beginning of the year. Anyone else?
We had field day but it was the last day of school in Colorado
We had field day but it was towards the end of the year because there were a lot of water activities. In middle school we also had field day but it was like tug of rope, there was a dunk tank, and a whole bunch of games where you can win candy.
In my school in Arizona we called it the Track Meet and it was near the end of school in May.
Yes we had field day at the end of the year and it was just fun things! Like volleyball, tug of rope, water balloons etc.
We had houses when I was in First School & Secondary School, but not in Middle School (I live in an area where the three tier school system still exists)
First/Primary/Elementary School houses we had:
Blue
Red
Yellow (My House)
Secondary/High School houses we had:
Sherborne
Corfe
Lulworth (My House)
In primary school did any one else have a bucket of water at one end then a bucket with a small hole at the top at the other end then with a syringe type thing had to transfer the water from one bucket to the other as like a rely thing with other people, whoever did all the water first won...... Probably just our school
We did this but with sponges!
+coco112289 thank god it wasn't just my school😂😂
yeah with sponges
We did the same but with paper funnels to make it 10 times harder lmao
We used cheap plastic cups and everyone drank half of it lol
I live in Colombia and I study in a private school but it is like a british school because the family that owns the school is from britain. We have houses and we win points by competing in poetry, chess, music, dance and theater. When you get into primary school they give you your house which will be your house until you graduate and if you have an older sibling then you have to be in the same house as him/her
And sports
+Laura Rios Poetry, music, chess, dance and theatre in primary school?!?! wow
+JoshDaJewishKid and secondary school
+JoshDaJewishKid We also learn at least two instruments to a high level so music is easy
This sounds amazing
Okay in primary school it was fun
In my secondary school on sports day like every one in each form have to do something (unless you get out of it,)
And small things will be done during PE lessons and on actual sports days everyone will go out on one of the school fields and music will play through speakers and teachers will commentate and it would be sooooo hot sometimes but if you didn't do any races (races happened on sports day) you'd just chill for like an hour and there was a tuck shop filled with sweets
But it's so scarily competitive
BUT TEACHERS RACES ARE HELLA FUNNY
Chloe Sw All my teachers who weren’t PE teachers in the race you would just see lightly jogging...
THIS IS LEGIT MY SPORTS DAY. We have to wear out actual kit and If we don't we have to stay at school and do work
If you don’t qualify for anything in PE you don’t do anything on sports day. It’s literally my favourite day of the year because you just eat cake 😂
Aussie here. Never had a sports day in high school (or I played sick to get out of it and have just blocked it from my memory) but it was an annual thing in primary school that absolutely traumatised me until the last couple of years when Mum would finally let me call in sick that day. I had undiagnosed Autism and it brought with it a variety of other undiagnosed issues like extremely poor speed and co-ordination, sensory issues, etc. While mentally, I was assessed to be within the top 5% of my age group, physical skills wise, I was within the bottom 5%. The sports day in grade 4 or 5 (I don't remember which year it was), the school decided that I needed a boost in my confidence so they insisted I race with the preschoolers, who they were sure I would be able to beat. In front of a huge crowd of all the teachers and staff, fellow students, their families, etc. I was halfway down the 100m track by the time the last preschooler crossed the finish line. Everyone laughed. I wanted to stop but they insisted I at least finish. I was slow and people were still laughing at me so they made me get off the track (so the next race could start), walk alongside the track and collect my participation ribbon at the finish line. Even my day care mum (think babysitter but at her house rather than mine), who I was very close with and cared deeply for, couldn't help laughing. I cried so hard and I don't think I went to another sports day after that. So much for a confidence boost.
Wait, so in Britain schools actually have HOUSES?!
Kcehlilpy AMERICAN SCHOOLS DONT HAVE HOUSES? WHAT,?????:? I NEVER KNEW
My school doesn't have houses but they are starting them next year
Kcehlilpy ours are called tutor groups
Kcehlilpy yeah plus we have them here in Ireland too. Our five houses are named after 5 random counties
Kcehlilpy yes
Blue: Bodiam
Red: Leeds
Dover:green
Yellow: Rochester
I had field day but in high school that stopped. I go to a magnet school and we have houses; best of both worlds.
I'm in America btw
Bleep test in Australia is called beep test :)) and our days are called athletics carnivals and swimming carnivals not like flag day :)) ❤💙
sara Knott we are VERY similar to Britain
Mhm and once I got a asthma attack during the beep test and had to sit out
Thankfully I haven’t had to do it since like grade six 😂 I’ve been away for the ones since (I started grade 10 this week)
The athletics carnival is fun. Swimming carnival, not much to do if you weren't swimming.
Lol, I just don't turn up XD.
My secondary school is in the Harris Federation - British- so it's all Harris schools in a big stadium, Crystal Palace stadium, sending out their best athletic students who had been training for months. It's basically Olympics but your being forced to be there and sit for hours. In Yr 11 you can't go cos it's the year of GCSEs.
Carnations wait
Is it like all the Harris secondary schools like the Harris in St. John’s Wood?
Harris academy*
Canadian sports day is literally a combination of American and British sports days
In Canada we call it Track and field day
Kaitlyn Rosa Ahhh now I know what they're talking about!
Kaitlyn Rosa im American and we called it that too
Kaitlyn Rosa YES YES YES YES. YES YES YES
Celeste I never played wall ball but I played a game very similar to it call red butt (I also live in Canada 🇨🇦 )
Grace Spencer me tooo!!!
We did sports day until year 10 and then it stopped because of GCSEs 😀
Not for us. We still had to do it.
yeah in my school you stop doing sports day in year 10
We stop sports day in year ten bc by the time sports day comes around year elevens have already left
Yeah same- just had my last one in julyy😢
That's the same in my school.
I’m Canadian and we have track and field through all grades starting at 4th grade. It’s mandatory till high school. You pick things like 400m 800m 1500m 3000m long jump triple jump disk throw high jump javeline throw etc. Starting gr 7 if you place top two you can go to districts. Starting gr 9 if you place top two you can go to provincials if you do good in districts. You’re separated by your age. If you’re really good you can go all the way up to national for your event and age. You also get ribbons if you place first second or third at school.
Got stung by a wasp in the eye
DatGuy Vlogs nice

HOW HAVE I NEVER KNOWN THAT HOUSE POINTS AND HOUSES ARE REAL THINGS. !!!?!! maybe i did and i forgot? // EVAN WE HAD FIELD DAY DID YOU NOT HAVE FIELD DAY? we were broken onto two teams across the school and did all sorts of races and tosses and tug of wars and sack races and eggs on a spoon races and stuff. what even is flag day. but actually what is flag day. IT'S FIELD DAY.
FIELD DAY WAS SO COMPETITIVE. WE WERE COMPETITIVE. lol i'm just sitting here like EVERYTHING UR SAYING IS WRONG XD
HEY

We had field day and flag day. Both parts are true about the chill do nothing outside part and the competitive part split by what colour you wear.
I WAS WRONG I WILL CORRECT IT NEXT VIDEO
LOLOLOLOL
YEAH ITS FIELD DAY
I love you Christine and I am a proud Ravenclaw just like you 🥰
At primary school we had a thing at the end of sports day where we had a 'dress up race' where the put piles of clothing at the top of the slanted concrete football pitch and we ran up and put it all on (over our clothes) and hula hooped 10 times
What a great profile picture you have there
+Yuki Loner 😊
mY FAVOURITE RACE
we had to take our shoes off, put them in a pile, mix them up, and then race to find and put the on
We had forms not houses in secondary. But it was more like form vs form and also year group vs year group.
We had , mark house - yellow , John house - red , Matthew house - blue , Luke house - green . Mathew were literally all the sporty people and always won!! The year sixes used to help the infants because it would normally be after SATS . Who else used to make daisy chains in the field or roll down the hills ? !
same exept matthew was yellow, mark was blue, luke was red, and john was green
I am Canadian......... Everyone forgets about us
Rip
Because no one lives in Canada. But it is my escape plan ;)
Because America...
Look at the country's that you are connected to the U.S. and mexico U.S. the slightly interesting when we are on the news and Mexico the all ways crazy things about them on the news U.S.A.
Im also canadian and Field day was literally just track and field for everyone under grade 3. though ours was basically a carnival in the back of our school
We have Athletics day at my school where we go to a large track field and we do running, shotputt, high jump, and long jump. So it's pretty much just the olympics at school. It's horrendous and I hate it. We can all get points for our houses. Theres points just for coming and then points for how well we do. At my high school our houses and really long Maori names because I'm in NZ and the colours are Yellow, Purple, Blue, and Orange. I'm yellow house.
Mine was the same it was dreadful
im yellow too
hufflepuffpride
I'm from NZ too and our athletics days were exactly the same I hated it so much and none of my friends were in my house.
I'm yellow too
In primary we had house colours also but there were places for example Colwick (Blue), Ruddington (Purple), Sherwood (Green) and Wollaton (Red)
