  1. Cluichí - Soldiers

    Share Share Post
    In the summer time the children in this district play "Soldiers" very often: - This is how it is done.
    They get two plantains. Then one of the children would hold out her "Soldier", and would let the other child draw her soldier to hit the other one. Then the other child does the same thing. Each continues hitting in turn until the heads of all the "Soldiers" of one girl are cut off. Then the other girl wins the game.
