The world’s largest game of human foosball has been played in Ontario, Canada. The event happened on 23 May at Humber Polytechnic Lakeshore Campus West in Etobicoke. It was organised by the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation.

Human foosball is like the table game foosball, but with real people. Players hold on to giant horizontal poles and try to kick a football into a large goal. At this event, 254 people took part.

The event was held to celebrate the upcoming FIFA World Cup. Ontario’s sport minister, Neil Lumsden, said football is about teamwork, energy and shared experiences. He said human foosball brought those ideas to life in a fun way.

Guinness World Records confirmed that the event set a new record. The giant game gave players and spectators a memorable sporting moment.

On a cold evening, Mia and her class visited a wildlife centre near Rotorua. They learned that a young kiwi had been found with a sore leg. The ranger wrapped the bird gently and explained that the kiwi would stay in care until it could hop properly again. Mia was surprised by how quiet the bird was. Before they left, the class helped make a sign asking people to keep dogs away from bush areas. Mia said the visit showed her how people can help native birds survive.
