We are really excited to introduce a new extracurricular activity focused on traditional movement games from Spain and El Salvador.

This activity aims to help children stay active while discovering and enjoying games that are part of the cultural heritage of both countries. Through play, students will improve their coordination, teamwork, communication skills, and physical fitness in a fun and dynamic environment.

During the sessions, children will participate in well-known playground games that have been played for generations in Spanish schools, as well as traditional movement games from El Salvador. These activities encourage cooperation, respect for rules, fair play, and inclusion. In addition, students will learn about cultural similarities and differences through active participation.

We believe this will be a wonderful opportunity for students to move and learn.
