Mexican Loteria
I'm Elisa Ruiz a student from
a Mexican high school and my teacher is Mary Elaine Meagher. I'm interested
in designing a folk game for your students.
The game that I choose is
called lotto in English and "Loteria" in Spanish. I've got 20 pictures
of Mexican birds I'm learning how say their names in English. In Mexico
we play lotto like this: There are six lotto cards with nine squares each,
every square will have a picture of a Mexican bird for example, Flamingo,
Hawk or Eagle. Each player has a lotto card. Another child is the caller.
He has a pack of 20 separate cards: one of each bird. This person calls
the names of the birds one by one to see if the others players have this
bird on their lotto card When the player has that bird on their lotto card,
we put a Mexican bean on that square. You could use a small coin or grain
of rice or anything else.
When you complete every square
you win and shout lotto.
