En grupos de 3 ó 4 alumnos cada uno con una canica situados, en un principio, a una cierta distancia (3-5 metros) del hoyo. El juego consiste en introducirla dentro a través de lanzamientos utilizando el pulgar y el índice. Si después del primer lanzamiento ninguno logra el objetivo realizan, siguiendo el mismo orden, un segundo intento desde el lugar donde se quedó la canica. Cuando uno de ellos la introduce, debe impactar su canica con alguna de las que todavía están fuera. Si se golpea y posteriormente se vuelve a meter la canica en el hoyo con otro lanzamiento, se "gana" la canica impactada.

MARBLES AGE: 7 YEARS FROM Number of participants: 3 to 5

This is the quintessential children's game. They know no seasons or boundaries

Perhaps much of the success of this game is due to the simplicity of the required materials, since just small balls or marbles are required, whether they are made of metal, ceramic, glass, plastic or marble, to name a few . There are many ways and different games, but the best known is: The hole In groups of 3 or 4 students, each with a marble placed, initially, to a certain distance (3-5 meters) from the hole. The game goal is making the marbles enter in the hole by throwing them with our thumb and forefinger. If after the first throw, no player achieves the objective, following the order, he/she will have a second attempt from the point where where the marble fell before. When one player throws his/her marble into the hole succesfully, he/she must impact his/her marble with some of the other which are still outside. If the player strikes it and then again throw the marble into the hole, he/she "wins" the marble impacted.

MATERIAL: SACOSEl objetivo es ganar la carrera. Para ello será preciso cubrir la distancia prevista saltando como los canguros, siempre con los dos pies dentro del saco. * En cuanto a las normas de juego, todo corredor que tropiece intencionadamente con otro al caerse quedará descalificado. Ahora bien, si la caída es involuntaria, el corredor puede levantarse de nuevo y seguir dando saltos. 1- Las líneas de salida y de meta deberán señalizarse adecuadamente. Por lo general se precisa la ayuda de un juez de línea de meta porque en muchas ocasiones los metros finales son muy apretados. 2-La longitud de la carrera se establece según la conveniencia de los participantes o de los organizadores* Es éste un juego típico de las fiestas populares, en el que pueden intervenir tanto los pequeños como los mayores. Tan sólo se precisa buena disposición para el ejercicio y, sobre todo, sentido del humor para encajar con ánimo alegre las posibles caídas.

This will need to cover the scheduled distance jumping like kangaroos, always with both feet inside the bag. * As for the rules of the game, every runner who intentionally collides with another one to make him/her fall will be disqualified. Now if the fall is involuntary, the rider can get up again and keep on jumping.

1 - The start line and the finish line shall be marked appropriately. It isusually required the help of a finish line judge because many times it is not clear who has come to the finish line first.2-The race length is set at the convenience of the participants or organizers
