The Games I've Learned in Spain by Sarah

I play games that I've never played before with my new friends in Spain. The games my friends and I play at school get very violent and active. The games get violent and active by playing long with lots of emotion.

The games I play play with my friends are called Pilla Pilla and Conejito de la Suete. Pilla Pilla is a spanish game that we would pronouce "Peeya Peeya. There are two types of Pilla Pilla. We play the game in a patio with two squares that are different sizes and colors than the rest of the patio at school. The two squares are called the casa(house) and the prison.

The first and most complex game of Pilla Pilla needs the whole patio for running, being in prison, and being in casa (house). You play the game by having two equal teams. The first team is called police (Taggers). The other team is the runners. The first team (police) tag the runners when they are out of the house and take them to the prison. The runners have the house, so when they are tired, they can rest in a safe zone.

The other version of Pilla Pilla is more simple and like tag. The game is more like tag because instead of two equal teams, there is one big team and only one tagger. In this game, you don't need the prison, because the game can never end. The one man team has the job of tagging the big team. When the tagger tag's someone, that someone becomes the tagger and the old tagger becomes a runner.?


Conejito de la Suerté is a game that you can play anywhere. It is a game that you need more than two people to play. You get in a circle and put your first hand on top of the person next to you's hand and the other hand under the other persons hand on your other side. In the order of the people, when your top hand gets slapped return the slap to the person on the other side of you. When the game starts, my friends and I sing a Spanish chant that I have not memorized fully, but it ends "chica asta, chico ti te guste mas!" Who ever the slap lands on at the end of the song has to kiss someone of their choosing on the cheek or give them a hug. Conejito de la Suerte in my opinion is better than Pilla Pilla because it shows your love!!!!
