We started on the morning of July 7th, 2014, in Reggio Emilia / Italia, the long workshop ''To Be Happy - 100 Kids Activities - The Benefits of play activities for the Development of Boys and Girls''.
We found the room number 07 in the school Galileo Galilei with the organisers Waldilia Lamb, Maria Jose and Ana Beatriz de Moura Valley, fellows of the Regional Movement Modern School North and Northeast of Brazil, affiliated to FIMEM. The space was filled with material, indicating that many activities would be conducted experientially during the period of that workshop.

We received on arrival a popout with the workshop logo on the front and the back, the frame to be filled as cooperative planning to be held at the beginning of each morning. We also received a T-shirt of the workshop and a bottle for water, favouring living in the classroom, meeting the need for hydration.
France, Italy, Germany, Brazil, Georgia, Romania, Finland, Sweden, Japan and Cote d'Ivoire - At first, the presentation of guidelines was performed and the thirty comrades enrolled in the workshop reported their country of origin . Then each participant received 100 cards with information of activities to be experienced, a summary table with these numbered and illustrated activities and also a text-synthesis containing the title, skills to be stimulated when the activity is developed, the possible realization of spaces, the necessary material, the age range of children who may practice such activity, as well as the number of participants.

Six activities - the number 47-52 - have been proposed to analyze and musical chairs was selected to be experienced by the participants. All practiced musical chairs - activity number 47 - and commented on its benefits to the development of boys and girls. The practice allowed participants joy, companionship and understanding. Then, the proposed activities were analyzed in a group, as practiced interest. The guidelines circulated by groups clarifying doubts, raising fundamental questions.
The smile stayed on the face of everyone!

Activities were carried out within the living room and courtyard, reminiscent of childhood games and allowing the motor coordination, mobility, agility, handiness, language and socialization.
At the end of each morning evaluated the work carried on in a cooperative way, so that all actions were guided by the principles and techniques of Freinet Pedagogy.
