We need two people at least Materials: A piece of Wood-called TANGA-( we can use a plastic bottle),  coins ( or any circular ítem) and iron badges,( we can use lids, caps of bottles and we can put some plasydough to make it heavier) Rules: We arrange  the piece of Wood in a vertical manner, inside a circle we previously have painted and the coins on top of it.

Players: It´s a team game. We need two people at least. Materials: Old Spanish deck-cards/ old cards. We cut the card in half , make a cross with the two parts, and fold it . We have the “patacones” On one side we have “heads” on the other one  we have “tails” Rules: Each player has several “patacones” At the beginning of the games it is decided how many “patacones" each player plays/bets and the order of the players. Opposite a Wall we draw a line. From the line we trow “the patacones“ against the Wall. Each player has also decided “head or tails” “The patacones" which matches with their  bets are the winners, the rest are thrown after them. When there are no more “patacones” left, they  begin again. The “Patacones” can be thron one by one or all at a time, but this has to be decided at the beginning of the game. There is another way to play, similar to a “picture card game”. The patacones are placed face down and by hitting with their hand try to turn them over. If y

The Project takes as starting point the physical education of our students, education we wish our elders to be active participants…. these thoughtful people with so much knowledge to share with. We`d like to recover those games, those things they dedicated their leisure time to and unfortunately, nowadays, they are almost forgotten or at least are being replaced by an excess of technology. And the big questions: What, if we discover that the European Countries have another similarity? What, if we find out that our own traditional games have the same background? And the main one: What if we learn from one another?
