Our next National Night was… Costa Rica! With the room beautifully decorated, they started their presentation with a great video about all the amazing places to be visited in Costa Rica and their diversity of fauna, flora and culture. After that, the delegation danced the typical “Punto Guanacasteco”. Awesome!
The next step were the games! We started with the “Tico’s olympics” (four different games such as rope jumping, tied-foot race etc). The environment protection game followed: four adults made a circle and the kids were kept inside. Four hunters had to try to touch the kids inside the circles, and the adults had to protect them. Whoever was touched by the hunters, left the circle and became one too. The Costa Ricans then explained that the circles represented the attempts of their country to protect it’s environment, and the kids inside were their goods who had to be protected. In Costa Rica, hunting is illegal.
And then came the food! We tried “cajetas”, “gallitos”, “tapitas” and “milanos”! Delicious!
This great night ended with the delegations scrapbook and souveniers to everyone! Thanks Costa Rica!
