    Games.
    Games are necessary for all children as all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. The children in this district play different games such as pucoz, luraboz laraboz coulours and four corner fool.
    Pucoz. This is played by tying a cloth around one childs eyes while the other children run around as they are trying to escape from being caught.
    Luraboz laraboz. This is played by a crowd of children who stretch out their feet. Then one child gets a stick and repeats this rhyme.
