Hello community!

Venezuela is a country of grace and of very happy people so we have many traditional customs inherited throughout our history and it will be difficult to mention them all, So I have selected just four of the most popular games that every child plays in my country. Surely they are not so impressive games, but they do have a high cultural value in every family in our country Venezuela.

I will begin by saying that every Venezuelan experiences since childhood what is the fun thanks to their most popular traditional games as they are: the trompo, the metras, the perinola and for those more daring children the ideal game is the firing squad.

I will try to explain what each of these games consists of with their respective rules.

The game is carried out taking as a reference point a circle called "Troy", where each of the children throw spinning top so that they must hit within the indicated circle and if not, they will have to place their top inside the Troy so the others will try to take it out. In some cases the goal is not only to get the spinning top out of the other players but rather to split it.

This traditional game consists of making three holes in the ground at some distance in order to put before the other player the metra in these three holes and then try to hit the metra of the opposing player. If this goal is achieved, that player loses the metra and will be eliminated; and so on until only one player remains.

The goal is to boost the perinole with a vertical movement to embed the rod into the hole of the deck again and again as many times as possible to achieve as many repetitions as possible.

It is a game that since children teaches us character and value where it is required to draw on the floor a table of as many columns as there players and four rows. Each column will have the initial of each player’s name. The remaining boxes will serve to place a _**X**_ that you lost in each round of the game.

A semicircle is drawn across the top of the board to place a medium ball. You must agree to a place away from the board that serves to get rid of, it can be a post or a wall.

The game begins when the first in the column throws a stone, from a safe distance, onto the drawn table. If the stone falls in the square of any column that belongs to a person, the person must take the ball and run to hit the ball with one of the players, the rest of the participants must run to the chosen place to get rid, touch and I touch the board again.

When someone is touched with the ball, they must take the ball and try to hit someone who has not reached the table, the last one who stays with the ball in that round will be marked with an "X".

When a player reaches the maximum of "X" he passes to the shooting area. There the rest of the participants must hit him 3 times with the ball.
