I took an hour off from work to watch Tesla and the kids do mini-races and group games for Sports Day. In Japan, this is 運動会 (undokai), and is a big deal with schools. Days of practice, all parents come to watch, and it's a full day event. There is a red and white team, and everyone competes for points for their team. I have fond memories of 運動会 - lots of excitement, and serious effort.
At preschool it was pretty low-key, and the kids didn't really know what they were supposed to do. At the first running race, when 4 kids were lined up and told to go, pretty much half of the whole class got up to run too until all the teachers ran after them yelling, not yet!!
For me, it was just neat to see my baby, er daughter, run, and well, just look like a big girl. Pics.
