The document describes the games and activities that the author's family members enjoyed playing as children, including marbles, blind man's bluff, football, hide and seek, playing with dolls and skipping for the grandmother, and jacks, stabbing sticks in the ground, and a game called "platillos" for the aunt and mother. It notes that school for the author's family was in the afternoon, they had to travel long distances sometimes to attend, and the teachers were stricter, able to hit the students.

2. My grandfather
played with
marbles
He also played at “guá” In this
game you use marbles too, you
make a hole and you must put
the marble inside it.

3. They both played to the
blind man´s bluff
And, of course they played football
They often had many fights
with the near neighbourhood
My grandfather played to “dao “
similar to the hide and seek

4. My grandmother
played with dolls
and she usually
played skipping with
her friends .
She also played at the “pati”
You make a draw with a piece
of choc and you jump!

5. My aunt and my
mother played with
the “clavo”. They
had to stab a stick
in the ground.
And they usually played at
“platillos” , that were like a
caps´rush
They played with jacks too

6. They played at “pico zorro zaina” a
very dangerous game .

7. They had the same subjects as us
but with a different name.
The teachers were more strict and
they could hit them
Girls were at different schools
They had a lot of homework
The biggest difference is that they
had school in the afternoon!

8. My grandfather didn´t have a phone so they met in a
place at a certain time every day.

9. They went walking , my father spent half an hour
going to school
Some of their friends were from villages or small
towns so they lived in the school all the week

10. THE END
