Games organised for children at certain popular festivities have not always been as important as they are today. As they are dates celebrated by adults, no room was allocated for the youngest members of the family in the past. However, that can be justified as the activities organised by and for adults were not as abundant and complex as the current ones.
The ''cucaña'' is another typical game of certain festivities, at least at some of the places surveyed. It basically consists of trying to climb up a pole that is several metres high and whose surface is covered with a substance that makes it slippery. The person who reaches the top is given a prize.;;This is more typical of young adults and adolescents than of children.
