Easter in Greece and France

Since Helene, our Comenius Assistant, is from both of these countries, she prepared a nice presentation about Easter traditions for our students. They learnt about differences between French and Greek Easter and heard some songs that are always sang at that time. Our students learnt some Greek and French words too. Helene brought a lot of hard boiled eggs in order to demostrate how Greeks play traditional Easter game called  tsougrisma. In Greek it is spelt like that -  τσούγκρισμα.
The rules are simple. Each player holds a red egg, and one taps the end of her/his egg lightly against the end of the other player's egg. The goal is to crack the opponent's egg. When one end is cracked, the winner uses the same end of her/his egg to try to crack the other end of the opponent's egg.
The player who successfully cracks the eggs of the other players is declared the winner and, he is said to have good luck during the year.
As you can see, the eggs our students are holding are not red. But it doesn´t matter. They enjoyed it all the same.
