Reflection of Palin

Palin is a stick and ball game originating in southern Chile and southwestern Argentina by the Mapuche People. There is a ritual celebration accompanied by prayers, dances and feasting meant to fortify both individual and communal relationships. It can be played between two friendly communities or sometimes to settle differences between antagonistic tribes, thus avoiding the armed conflict.

This Term we are looking at combining PE with English to study new games from different cultures, I learnt about the cultural game called Palin from the Mapuche tribe, They played Palin to stay fit in the wars, after funerals and to resolve conflicts between tribes.

I enjoyed learning this new game as it was interesting.
