Craft: Safety Pin Flag
The colours on the flag of Chile represent the blood of soldiers who fought
for Chile's independence, the snow of the Andes Mountains, and the blue
of the sky. The star in the top left corner represents government, as Chile is
a Unitarian republic.

 Small beads to fit on safety pins; 20 blue beads, 50 white beads, 70
red beads
Instructions:
Follow the pattern below to complete this project. Each number represents
one vertical pin. For example on pin three, you would place five red beads,

Game: Corre, Corre la Guaraca
The name of this game translates to "run, run, la guaraca", la guaraca
being a made up, silly word.
Materials:
 One handkerchief
 Area to run around in
Instructions:
All of the girls sit in a circle facing inwards,
while one girl jogs around the circle
holding a handkerchief. The girls sitting
must keep their eyes closed, and sing
"Corre, Corre, la Guaraca who looks back
will be bopped on his head!" The goal of
the jogger is to drop the handkerchief on
one girls back without them noticing, and
then running around the circle. If she
makes it around the circle before the
player realizes that it's on her back, the
seated girl is out. If the seated girl catches
on, she must get up and tag the runner. If she succeeds, the runner is out.
If she fails to tag the runner, they play again, but this time the girl who had
a handkerchief dropped on her is the runner.

Let's Learn our Numbers! Check out the fun and easy ‘repeat-after-me’
song on YouTube to learn number 1-10 in Spanish. Once the girls feel they
have mastered these numbers, try playing a game with them to test their
knowledge. For example have numbers taped to the wall, and call out a
number in Spanish, then ask the girls to go to the number that you called.

Craft: The Andes Mountains
The Andes are the world's longest mountain range and is home to many
creatures like the Vicuñas, the chinchilla, and the Andean condor. Let's
make some Andes!
Materials (per girl):
 Half a paper plate
 Grey or brown, green, and white paint or markers to represent the
mountains, grass, and snow-covered peaks
 Toothpicks and paper if girls wish to make a sign labeled "The Andes
Mountains"
 Blue construction paper
 Tape or glue
Instructions:
Give each girl a semi circle, made from cutting a paper plate in half. Have
the girls decorate their mountains, by painting or colouring them, as seen in
the image below, while leaving a "snow-covered peak" at the top. Glue or
tape their completed mountain to a piece of blue construction paper, which
will represent the sky, and have them decorate this however they like. To
finish it off, use a toothpick and a rectangle of white paper to make a sign
that reads "The Andes Mountains", so they know where they are, and stick
it into the paper plate!

Craft: Pottery
The village of Pomaire, near Santiago, is famous for their handmade
pottery. If you can, get your unit out to a class and make some pottery. If
that is not possible, try this fun and easy clay pottery craft, so the girls can
take home their own creation.
Materials:
 Polymer clay in lots of
colours
 Wax paper
 Plastic knives
 Needles and other
sculpting tools
Instructions:
Give each girl a piece of wax
paper, spread out on a flat
surface. Let the girls choose the clay
they wish to use, and knead this clay
before making your item of pottery. This
can be a bowl, or whatever comes to
mind-- be creative! Follow baking
instructions on the polymer clay
packaging to set it.

Game: Corre El Anillo
This name translates to "pass the ring". A Spanish song generally goes
along with this game.
Materials:
 One small ring
Instructions:
Have girls stand or sit in a circle facing inwards with their hands cupped
and eyes closed. One girl will be the leader, holding the ring. She will stand
in the circle, and go to each girl, pretending to drop the ring in their hands,
but only actually dropping the ring in one person’s hands. The last person
that the leader pretends to give the ring to, then has to guess who has the
ring. If they guess right, they become the new leader.
