When the flag is completed the teacher will attach it to a stick approximately four feet long. For the duration of the marking period students compete in a variety of olympic-like events. At the beginning of the class period athletes line up behind their senators who are holding their flag, and march to the event area. Points are awarded to the city-states with the highest scores for the day's event and recorded on a large chart posted in the gymnasium. The horse pulls the rider around the track.
Teams alternate starting in the inside lane.
One team on each side with 5 volleyballs. One girl and one boy are chosen by each team to do a ladder cross. Athletes get one point for each rung of the ladder they are able cross. The remainder of the athletes, the boys or girls from a single team at one time, will hang from the ladder as long as possible. A stopwatch is started when all the athletes are hanging.
