Looking for something different for this holiday fun? or after dinner fun? introductory lesson to Spanish? scrapbooks, collage art fun, card making? Traditional mexican folk art mixed media art? Play and then make cards!

These are the smaller, but traditional version with traditional loteria game boards on one side and with other games on each tabla or playing board and 54 cards with the original sentences in Spanish on the back, like on the back of the deer card says, " El venado no ve nada" or "The deer didn't see anything" What fun learning Spanish!

Learn Spanish with easy to match pictures or just call out the numbers to play, it's just like American Bingo, but instead of random numbers chosen from ping pong balls, it's from a deck of cards!

Each box on the playing board is around 2" by 1" and there are 16 boxes per game board, in case you want to cut them up, so that's 160 pieces just in cut up game board.

Quinceañera Fiesta Day of the Dead Christmas New Year's fiesta taco beach party fun! Everyone can go searching for shells, pebbles and sea glass as lucky markers!

Hoarder History: This is from my recent detash of dealing with some of my hoarder issues. I seem to buy "hard to find" items in bulk because I'm so happy to finally have found them! I bought, uh, several of these to use in cards, collages and mixed media art, but ironically, have to dehoard to make room for any creative activities!

Untold Destiny: I hope these find themselves on a good game table for Halloween to Day of the Dead for some with adults and children and then later as a fun art project! Make some new memories with a modern traditional twist! Compare these newer cards with the older traditional ones, if you need a fun lesson in the classroom this Day of the Dead!

Some info from wiki on it's history and how to play:

1. Lotería is a Latin American game of chance, similar to bingo, but using images on a deck of cards instead of plain numbers on ping pong balls. Every image has a name and an assigned number, but the number is usually ignored. Each player has at least one tabla, a board with a randomly created 4 x 4 grid of pictures with their corresponding name and number. Players choose what tabla they want to play with, from a variety of previously created tablas. Each one presents a different selection of images.

2. Lotería is the Spanish word for lottery. The deck is composed of a set of 54 different images, each one in a card. To start the game, the caller (cantor, or singer) randomly selects a card from the deck and announces it to the players by its name, sometimes using a riddle or humorous patter instead of reading the card name. The players with a matching pictogram on their board mark it off with a chip or other kind of marker (many Mexican families traditionally use small rocks, crown corks or pinto beans as markers). The first player with four chips in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal row, squared pattern,any other previously specified pattern, or fills the tabla first shouts "¡Lotería!" (Lottery!) or "¡Buena!" (Good!) and is the winner.

3. The origin of lottery can be traced far back in history. The game originated in Italy in the 15th century and was brought to New Spain (Mexico) in 1769. In the beginning, lotería was a hobby of the upper classes, but eventually it became a tradition at Mexican fairs.
