Favorite Game with Family

Chile: Corre, Corre la Guaraca

Get ready for some silly giggles with this fun (and easy-to-learn!) game from Chile. It translates to "Run, Run, la Guaraca" (Guaraca is just a silly word for extra fun!).

Here's how to play:

• Gather 5 or more players (ages 5 and up)

• You'll need a handkerchief

• Players sit in a circle while one person jogs around the outside with the handkerchief.

• The seated players sing a silly song ("Corre, Corre, la Guaraca, who looks back will be bopped on his head!")

• The runner tries to sneakily drop the handkerchief on someone's back without them noticing.

• If the runner makes it all the way around before the seated player realizes they have the handkerchief, the seated player is out!

• If the seated player catches on, they have to tag the runner. If they succeed, the runner is out.

• This is a game of quick reflexes and sneaky tactics - perfect for some family bonding and laughter!
