[00:00:00] Oh
[00:00:10] yeah, so these are very simple to
[00:00:13] make,
[00:00:15] maybe lia can demonstrate
[00:00:17] it,
[00:00:20] these children are finding joy in the simplest and oldest
[00:00:24] games, believe it or not, there is a special place in Aruba dedicated to
[00:00:28] preserving just that. Pungateca is library of toys and
[00:00:32] games for children of all ages, in fact
[00:00:34] adults can become members too, we
[00:00:38] have for all ages and we don't
[00:00:40] have limit, so if you are 80 years, you can still come
[00:00:44] here because games are good for your mind to keep
[00:00:48] your mind active. for
[00:00:50] just 50 florans a year, members can borrow all kinds of
[00:00:54] puzzles, classic games, board games
[00:00:57] and so much more. in addition to Lending toys,
[00:01:01] Hungateca offers workshops for children every
[00:01:04] weekend. One of the most
[00:01:06] a when you were a child. At the end of special things about Hungateka is its old school games summer
[00:01:09] event during every school vacation.
[00:01:12] Organizers take children of all ages back to simpler
[00:01:16] times, before ipads and digital games, where
[00:01:19] kids have endless fun with nothing more than painted tin
[00:01:23] cans and some ropes. Many children today have never
[00:01:26] discovered how much fun simple materials can be.
[00:01:30] Fumo is in charge of these old school games, she
[00:01:34] loves children and for her organizing this event over the
[00:01:37] years has been incredibly rewarding. I
[00:01:41] love it, I love to see the children um
[00:01:44] happy and enjoying the game. There
[00:01:48] are few classic old school games that remain the biggest
[00:01:52] hits. Fumoi explains a one
[00:01:56] that is very popular and very light by kids is the one on the...
[00:02:00] tin cans with the
[00:02:03] rope, so you step on the cans and you take the
[00:02:07] ropes and you walk with it, so most of the
[00:02:10] time we have a competition so the kids compete with each
[00:02:13] other, who comes first at the at the
[00:02:16] endline, and that's what the kids love to
[00:02:19] do. the second popular game is the one with the thin
[00:02:22] cans, we put them upon one
[00:02:26] top of each other and then the kid can throw the ball.
[00:02:30] and try to throw down all the cans,
[00:02:43] take a closer look at the materials
[00:02:46] in counting. If you're not one of they use, simple, recyclable and easy to find,
[00:02:49] these games give children the chance to be creative.
[00:02:52] the beauty of this is it doesn't cost you anything because you
[00:02:56] use material that you throw away actually and we... cycle
[00:03:00] them, you just paint the cans and you put the rope
[00:03:03] and that's it, that's the game, and you have so much fun
[00:03:07] of it, and sometimes um, there
[00:03:10] are certain games that you don't even have to make anything,
[00:03:14] like the tag, we call it tick, the kids
[00:03:18] love to do that, just tag each other, or
[00:03:21] the um, the other one is hide and
[00:03:25] hide and seek, what we call kaki
[00:03:29] sconde. so children love to do that, sometimes you have
[00:03:33] event and we end up doing that, so
[00:03:36] that is uh, the beauty of it that you don't, it doesn't
[00:03:40] cost you anything, you use your creativity, and that's
[00:03:43] what impacted me that you have to expose them
[00:03:47] because you think their old games, they are forgotten, but when you
[00:03:50] expose the kids to these games you see that they love it, and it's good
[00:03:54] for your social skills, teamwork, it's
[00:03:57] outdoors, so you are in the uh "open ear, you're not
[00:04:01] inside, and it's very healthy.
[00:04:05] As parents, one of the biggest conversations we have these days is
[00:04:08] about how much screen time our kids are getting. We want them to get
[00:04:12] outside and play. According to Fumoi, you'd be surprised
[00:04:15] at how much joy children find in the simplicity of these
[00:04:19] activities. Even she was surprised at how much they loved
[00:04:22] them. When I first did the old school games, I thought children
[00:04:26] would not like it, because they are used to the..."
[00:04:30] games and to my surprise
[00:04:33] they liked it, they love it. i have nice who
[00:04:37] loved it so much, she ask to do it on her
[00:04:39] birthday. don't assume children won't like the
[00:04:42] games we used to play, make sure to expose them to these simple
[00:04:46] activities. let's face it, technology isn't going away, but
[00:04:49] everything is better in moderation. i would like to see
[00:04:52] a balance, because we cannot do without
[00:04:55] technology. i'm not saying it's bad, it's good, because without
[00:04:59] technology. wouldn't be so far now, but
[00:05:02] there has to be a balance because we also know the negative effects
[00:05:06] of uh the screen time
[00:05:09] for the for the our health and... even more
[00:05:13] for children and it doesn't promote social
[00:05:16] interacting or community
[00:05:18] building, so
[00:05:22] i would like to expose them more, but there has to be a
[00:05:25] balance. playing outside with games that require
[00:05:28] interaction builds community. fumoy
[00:05:31] played these same games as a child and she'll tell you that
[00:05:34] connecting with other children and adults this way creates
[00:05:38] lasting memories. i remember when we were young
[00:05:41] we used to... make our own toys like using
[00:05:45] your creativity and i still have
[00:05:47] nice memories of when i was kid doing
[00:05:51] that and not so long ago
[00:05:54] we met a neighbor whom we had used to
[00:05:57] play very um frequently
[00:06:00] with and we had nice
[00:06:03] memories we were talking about when we used to play and have
[00:06:07] had lot of laughter so that
[00:06:10] was nice to
[00:06:12] the the memories that you um keep as
[00:06:18] the day, as parents and uncles or grandparents, we have
[00:06:22] role in introducing children to simpler times and simpler
[00:06:25] games. Well, I would like to invite all parents,
[00:06:29] grandparents, aunts, uncles, play more
[00:06:32] with your child, because child love,
[00:06:35] attention and spending time, quality
[00:06:39] time, but um, I have noticed that... with uh
[00:06:43] toys or games, you actually bond
[00:06:47] and you enjoy the time together, so
[00:06:50] like my neeses, they always ask to play games because they
[00:06:54] like it very much, and you it's also
[00:06:57] educational. your welcome to become members of Hungateka for
[00:07:01] just 50 florens a year, which is about $30.
[00:07:05] now when I travel, I know it's hard to pack many toys for my
[00:07:08] daughter, but with Hungateka you can borrow up to six toys and then...
[00:07:12] return them before you depart the island. For locals and
[00:07:16] tourists who wish to support Hungateka by donating toys

[00:07:26] simpler times and the old school game
[00:07:29] days. I'm here at the Ruba Marriot Resort and
[00:07:33] Stalars Casino. Something is happening right now and you're going

[00:11:11] they're also deeply rooted in arubus culture. you might be wondering,
[00:11:15] what's the difference between a patito and smoothie?
[00:11:18] well, according to chat GPT, appatito is typically made with
[00:11:22] fresh fruit and is lighter and more liquid back. sometimes
[00:11:26] sweetened with sugar, honey or condensed milk. smoothie
[00:11:29] on the other hand is often thicker and creamier, made with blended
[00:11:33] fruit, yogurt or ice cream. there are many
[00:11:36] ways to order a tito. let's hear from some locals
[00:11:40] about their favorites. my favorite kind of b is
[00:11:43] the one with uh banana, what we call here
[00:11:46] bakoba uh with sugar and
[00:11:50] and milk. my favorite is the mango of
[00:11:54] course. papaya and
[00:11:56] watermelon and your favorite flavor is
[00:11:58] mango, take the mango with uh
[00:12:02] milk and with no sugar, mango
[00:12:05] sinach, yeah, mango sinach,
[00:12:08] my favorite potato is uh, fashion fruit, i like
[00:12:12] lot of citric fruits, but
[00:12:15] also like tuty fruity, like mixed fruit is also very nice, the key
[00:12:18] ingredient, fresh fruit, from there you can mix
[00:12:22] in sugar, milk,
[00:12:25] and a little water and ice, then
[00:12:28] blend and blend and
[00:12:31] blend some more, and voila,
[00:12:35] refreshing and delicious. what do
[00:12:38] you personally love about pedosles? since we
[00:12:41] are, we live on the island of ruba, it's very refreshing since the
[00:12:45] sun is so uh hot, it's very refreshing
[00:12:48] and it's a type of way of
[00:12:52] like sometimes you don't eat fruit but...
[00:13:25] and some of them they put sugar or not, it's your
[00:13:28] choice, and some of them they put milk or not, it's your
[00:13:32] choice, so basically that off and and whatever fruit is

[00:14:02] patido, at pochos, you can always count on getting

[00:14:09] day and age, really, where can we say that about? this is a
[00:14:13] tradition you can count on. neils explains
[00:14:16] why. nyapa is always a little bit extra because it's
[00:14:19] very hot in arupa and just one drink is
[00:14:22] not enough, you always needs two. do your customers love the
