This Saturday, 14 November 2026, children from schools and clubs come together for the second Arusha Mini Games. Opening ceremonies start at 9:00 am and the games finish at about 4:00 pm. The event is organised by International Mini Games in collaboration with Iyanna Foundation.
The games are held at two venues. Soccer and skating take place at the Aga Khan Sports Ground (AKU-ACER). Swimming, taekwondo, chess, archery, dance and ballet, and arts take place at the UWC East Africa Arusha Campus.
The Games aim to nurture children’s growth through Olympic values and ideals: respect, excellence and friendship. At Iyanna Foundation we believe games like these build more than skills. Whether a child is on the chessboard, in the pool or on stage, they practise focus, fair play, courage and teamwork.
For parents and teachers: lunch is served at each venue at 12:30 pm for those who have paid. Bottled water is not allowed at either venue, so please bring a refillable bottle. Water points are available at both venues. The individual programme for each game will be shared by Friday, 13 November.
On Sunday, 15 November there is also a safari for those who wish to join. Registration is still open until Friday evening, 13 November. Pick-up is at Lush Garden, Sakina, Arusha. To confirm your seat, contact +255 679 787 725.
