Día del Niño celebrations in Larcacunga - Ecuador


Larcacunga’s
“Day of the Child” programme began with a school discussion about their rights, privileges and responsibilities. They were then set the challenge
of drawing a picture to represent what they had learned with prizes given to the
best picture from each grade.

The afternoon focussed almost exclusively on the ‘right to play’ and opened with
team potato and spoon, three-legged and sack races. A downpour of rain forced
the fun to be moved into the dining room where apples were bobbed and water
transportation games also served as an impromptu cleaning session.

The sun returned in time for a whole school tug-of-war challenge and Señorita Lucila’s speciality: the broom game, best described as a musical statues and bumps
hybrid ... with a broom. Their usual end of the day fruit was supplemented with prizes and pieces of ‘day of the child cake’ for everyone. An exciting fun-filled day was had by all.
