Games & Parties
Let´s sing
To learn a little more about Mexican culture, the students were taught different children's games that Mexicans grew up with, games such as "lobo estas ahí", "wolf are you there", "la víbora de la mar", "the sea snake", "pato pato ganzo" "duck duck goose" They were also taught typical Mexican songs that children sing such as "la cucaracha" and "la chona" to practice their Spanish and their ability to sing, all together they sang these songs in chorus.
Let's throw a party
The piñata is one of the customs that characterize us Mexicans, breaking a piñata is something fun and full of emotion when celebrating a Mexican party.
In order for the students to feel this experience we asked them to make their own piñatas in groups, decorating them as they wish and having fun with their creativity.
all the piñatas are creative and fun.
just waiting for the party to start and break the piñata!
