Making the handkerchiefs

Game "The handkerchief"

1 - To begin, divide the players into two teams and each team receives a handkerchief. Then break up the team to explore the space and choose a base to leave his handkerchief.

2 - Each team sets the base and mark a circle with 1.5 m to 2 meters in diameter with flour. Leave the tissue in the center.

3 - After a scheduled basis, two players are as vigilant, responsible for protecting the tissue, and leave the rest to try to find the base of the opposing team and to take possession of his handkerchief.

4 - When two players from different teams meet, catch a cockfight. Arise squatting, facing each other, and giving small jumps, trying to topple the opponent, pushing him with the palms. The first to lose their balance loses the duel and must return to their base in order to restart the search.

5 - When a player gets on base against, try to pick up the handkerchief and run away with it without the guards to touch. But if they can touch it, that player becomes a prisoner and sit within the circle of flour, which can not leave as a fellow not save it.

6 - The game ends when one team can steal the handkerchief to the rival team.

Jogo "Os lenços"

1 - Para começar, dividem-se os jogadores em duas equipas e cada equipa recebe um lenço. Em seguida, separam-se, para que equipa explore o espaço e escolha uma base onde deixar o seu lenço.

2 - Cada equipa fixa a base e marca um círculo com 1,5m a 2 metros de diâmetro com farinha. Deixa-se o lenço no centro.

3 - Depois de marcada a base, dois jogadores ficam como vigilantes, responsáveis por proteger o lenço, e os restantes partem, para tentar encontrar a base da equipa adversária e conseguir apoderar-se do seu lenço.

4 – Quando, dois jogadores de equipas diferentes se encontram, travam uma luta de galos. Colocam-se de cócoras, um diante do outro, e, dando pequenos saltos, tentam derrubar o adversário, empurrando-o com as palmas das mãos. O primeiro a perder o equilíbrio perde o duelo e deve voltar para a sua base, a fim de reiniciar a busca.

5 - Quando um jogador chega à base contrária, tenta apanhar o lenço e fugir com ele sem que os vigilantes lhe toquem. Mas se estes conseguir tocar-lhe, esse jogador fica prisioneiro e senta-se dentro do círculo de farinha, do qual não poderá sair enquanto um companheiro não for salvá-lo.

6 - O jogo termina quando uma das equipas conseguir roubar o lenço à equipa rival.

“Apothecary’s handkerchief” Game

“Apothecary’s handkerchief”

Lyrics:

I lost my handkerchief
Playing in the beach
My mother didn’t give me another
Mite as well look for it

Apothecary’s handkerchief
Lost out there, where is it?

Rules of the game:
1 – The children make a circle, sitting on the floor, and sing the first part of the song.
The player, who has the handkerchief, walks outside, around the circle.
2- When the children begin to sing the second part of the song, the player leaves the handkerchief near a colleague, and starts to run. This colleague, harvesting the handkerchief, chases him around the circle.
The player who left the handkerchief has to get to the same place and occupy his colleague’s seat without getting himself caught.
3- If the player who posted the handkerchief allows himself to be caught, he stays brooding in the middle of the circle and only exits when another player is caught.
4- The player who receives the tissue becomes the one to place it in another colleague’s and the game continues.

"Lencinho da Botica"

Letra da canção do jogo

Perdi o meu lencinho Na praia a brincar
Minha mãe não me deu outro
Mais valia procurar

Lencinho da Botica
Lá vai, lá fica

Regras do jogo
1 - As crianças fazem uma roda, sentadas, no chão e cantam a primeira parte da canção.
Entretanto o jogador que tem um lencinho anda , pelo lado exterior, em volta da roda.

Esse colega, apanha o lenço e persegue o colega, em volta da roda. O jogador que deixou o lenço tem de ocupar o lugar do colega sem se deixar apanhar.

Valentine’s handkerchiefs

The Valentine’s handkerchiefs exist across the country, with higher incidence in Minho (North of Portugal).
They were the most pure and poetic art form used by young girls of Minho.

It seams that the origin of the valentine’s handkerchiefs also known as “marriage proposal’s handkerchiefs” was on the tissues of the centuries XVII and XVIII used by the nobles, which were adopted and adapted by women of the people in order to impress and win a future husband.
A girl, when was near the of age to marry, embroidered an handkerchief in cross-stitch in a cloth of fine linen or cotton.

It was embroidered with the symbols and images that poured from her imagination.

In this work it was valued by human feelings as loyalty, dedication, love ...

They were weeks or months of work in the development of a handkerchief that could confirm or not the beginning of a romance.

After embroidered, the tissue would get to the hands of the "boyfriend" and his public attitude to use or not decided if it was the beginning of dating.

Our handkerchiefs are beautiful and hand-painted by our little artisans. They are not embroidered. We offer to our partners to express our love, friendship and also as memory of our engagement in the SETS Comenius project.
