Join in the excitement of World Sports Day!
On Monday 25 June, London 2012 World Sport Day will give thousands of schools and communities the chance to get involved in the final UK-wide Get Set event before the Games begin and celebrate the athletes and cultures of the world.
Here are three ways you can mark the occasion on Monday 25 June:
