- World Human Mattress Domino Day
A couple of months ago one of the parents from the São Lourenço International School came up with the idea of trying to break the world Human Mattress Domino Day record.
Following a lot of organizing up front it was finally the big day! The children were all transported to the Algarve Football Stadium by bus, very excited and in good spirit.
The world record prior this day was 123 human mattresses. We had about 250 mattresses available. After registering and receiving our number we then entered the stadium where all the mattresses had been laid out. The local press and a TV station were there to broadcast this fun domino day. Everybody then held up their mattress. First there was a trial attempt and then we had to do the real one and remain on the mattresses until the official count was done. The smaller children were watching it all from the grand stand and were helping with the count down and due to their enthusiasm created a great atmosphere.
All parents, teachers and friends had also been asked to come along to this enjoyable event. The ambience was fantastic and the turn out was excellent.
We managed to absolutely smash the world record and are holding the current title with 244 mattresses. São Lourenço International School will soon be in the history books!!
