WILLEMSTAD - A record number of schools in primary education will participate in the King's Games on Friday. At least 15,000 children will take part in the Orange sports day. 

Traditionally, the games begin with a healthy breakfast intended to convey the message to all children and their parents that eating well, and exercising are important for their health. "The children need to have enough energy for the sportive part of the day," according to the organization. 

The schools are allowed to organize the program of the King's sports day themselves. This year's theme is "1-2 everyone participates", and the commemorative year of slavery, which refers to a time when not everyone was allowed to participate everywhere. 

According to the organization, children are the future, and they should demonstrate what it is like when everyone participates together.
