Sparks and Brownies Game: Corre, Corre la Guaraca

The name of this game translates to "run, run, la guaraca", la guaraca

being a made up, silly word.

Materials:

One handkerchief

Area to run around in

Instructions:

All of the girls sit in a circle facing inwards,

while one girl jogs around the circle

holding a handkerchief. The girls sitting

must keep their eyes closed, and sing

"Corre, Corre, la Guaraca who looks back

will be bopped on his head!" The goal of

the jogger is to drop the handkerchief on

one girls back without them noticing, and

then running around the circle. If she

makes it around the circle before the

player realizes that it's on her back, the

seated girl is out. If the seated girl catches

on, she must get up and tag the runner. If she succeeds, the runner is out.

If she fails to tag the runner, they play again, but this time the girl who had

a handkerchief dropped on her is the runner.

Let's Learn our Numbers! Check out the fun and easy ‘repeat-after-me’

song on YouTube to learn number 1-10 in Spanish. Once the girls feel they

knowledge. For example have numbers taped to the wall, and call out a

number in Spanish, then ask the girls to go to the number that you called.

mountains, grass, and snow-covered peaks

Toothpicks and paper if girls wish to make a sign labeled "The Andes

Mountains"

Give each girl a semi circle, made from cutting a paper plate in half. Have

the girls decorate their mountains, by painting or colouring them, as seen in

the image below, while leaving a "snow-covered peak" at the top. Glue or

tape their completed mountain to a piece of blue construction paper, which

will represent the sky, and have them decorate this however they like. To

finish it off, use a toothpick and a rectangle of white paper to make a sign

that reads "The Andes Mountains", so they know where they are, and stick

it into the paper plate!

The village of Pomaire, near Santiago, is famous for their handmade

pottery. If you can, get your unit out to a class and make some pottery. If

that is not possible, try this fun and easy clay pottery craft, so the girls can

take home their own creation.

Polymer clay in lots of

colours

Wax paper

Plastic knives

Needles and other

sculpting tools

Give each girl a piece of wax

paper, spread out on a flat

surface. Let the girls choose the clay

they wish to use, and knead this clay

before making your item of pottery. This

can be a bowl, or whatever comes to

mind-- be creative! Follow baking

instructions on the polymer clay

packaging to set it.

along with this game.

One small ring

Have girls stand or sit in a circle facing inwards with their hands cupped

and eyes closed. One girl will be the leader, holding the ring. She will stand

in the circle, and go to each girl, pretending to drop the ring in their hands,
