International Games In Lahti: 8. Sports to Be Witnessed or Practiced Spectator sports include, in summer: Big-scale gymnastic festivals (2nd half of June); track and field meet (Finnish championships, well worth watching, in mid-August); motor races on the EMntarha Course; and a yachting regatta (date from the Tourist Ass'n), all the foregoing being in or near Helsinki; and, in winter, the Salpausselka International Games in Lahti (Feb.), Puijo International Winter Games in Kuopio (March) and Ounasvaara International Winter Games in Rovaniemi (March). Winter sports on the Arctic Circle are something to think about.
Various forms of exercises and apparatus events were conducted in schools, colleges, and societies throughout the United States during the early part of the 20th century. In 1936 the National Collegiate Athletic Association started annual contests, and in the 1960's almost every state high school athletic association adopted the sport for boys and girls.
The international governing body for the sport is the Federation Internationale de Gym-nastique (FIG), of which the AAU is an affiliate. The FIG's code of rules governs participants in the Olympic Games, World Games, and other competitions on an international level.
In the way of practical help, suggest games that could be played at home (e.g. word bingo or a cloze game where children fill in missing words or phrases), explaining the particular value of games to a child with reading problems -namely that they're fun and so don't seem too much like hard work, and also that they have a useful repetitive, reinforcing function. When you recommend a game, try to explain just how it is designed to help. There are booklets and pamphlets available, which give ideas for games that can easily be made and played at home (e.g. Hip Pocket Spelling Games series, New York, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1983).
