THE CHILDREN'S GAMES THAT SANTA DULCE DOS POBRES LIKED THE MOST

DOLL

Playing with dolls is pure imagination fun, which gives free rein to creativity, and so there are no rules. Santa Dulce dos Pobres had a doll named Celica, which she got from her grandmother. Playing with dolls with her sister Dulcinha was one of her favorite pastimes as a child.

SOCCER

The most popular sport in our country, the favorite of Santa Dulce dos Pobres, was encouraged when she began to attend Campo da Graça with her father and brothers to watch the championships. That was when her admiration for Esporte Clube Ypiranga began.

YPIRANGA SPORTS CLUB

The team that Santa Dulce dos Pobres loves, founded on September 7, 1906, was the first Bahian football club to bring together people from the people, that is, black workers, and was one of the first teams to confront racism in the country. Apolinário Santana, better known as Popó, was one of the most famous players in the history of Ypiranga. A black boy from a humble family, he won the heart of fan Mariinha.

CASTOR OIL WAR

One of the games that children liked the most. With a handful of castor beans, the fruit of the castor bean plant, they would throw them at each other. Since they are light, it didn't hurt that much, but the fruit has tips that, despite being flexible, caused discomfort.

FLYING GUARD

A game played in almost every country. Kite flying is one of the oldest pastimes. To fly a kite, you must stand with your back to the wind and control the line. Leave a little line outside the spool, being careful not to get it tangled. And when the kite is pulled, release the line until it floats in the sky.

MARBLES

A game with colored glass balls, it consists of drawing a triangle or circle on the floor and scattering the balls within the delimited area. The game can have the following variations: throwing the balls to try to get those that are within the area marked on the floor or with the objective of hitting the opponent's balls to win theirs. In this game, each ball that is hit becomes yours and the winner is the one who manages to collect the most balls.
