00:00:00Oh
00:00:10yeah, so these are very simple to
00:00:13make,
00:00:15maybe lia can demonstrate
00:00:17it,
00:00:20these children are finding joy in the simplest and oldest
00:00:24games, believe it or not, there is a special place in Aruba dedicated to
00:00:28preserving just that. Pungateca is library of toys and
00:00:32games for children of all ages, in fact
00:00:34adults can become members too, we
00:00:38have for all ages and we don't
00:00:40have limit, so if you are 80 years, you can still come

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