We don’t have to worry about Christmas!

Can you imagine that almost 3-year old elves are preparing Christmas?

Yes, they are! We saw them in Gdynia during the event called “Elf, move up!” that was organised by Gdynia Sports Centre as a part of the project Move up to be healthy and happy. Elves definitely couldn’t be bored, they had a lot of work! All the tasks weren’t easy – warm up with Zumba dancer, climbing and jumping on slides, basketball, football, rugby and handball trainings, but also supporting adults in solving very difficult quiz about health!

Now, we are more than sure, that Christmas will be healthy and happy :-)
