They like to play after school, and it's quite common to see the children at the park in town after their school day ends. Soccer is their favorite sport, and there are several "escuelas de fútbol" (soccer schools) they can join. They also play more informal games in the park, like freeze tag (which they call congelados which means frozen).

It was a pretty even split in the group between Lionel Messi, Christiano Ronaldo, and Shakira.
