El Reloj (Game)
El Reloj, or the clock, begins with any number of children forming a circle (the game was originally played with 12 children---thus the name). One child remains in the middle of the circle with a long jump rope. The girl in the middle swings the rope around in a circle close to the ground, and the other players shout out numbers in order as they jump over the rope. If a child misses the rope and is hit by it, he is out. This is a good game for learning numbers in a new language.
