While there is culture here of teenage boy's borrowing one of the many family cars for stunting during the siesta period, children play here as elsewhere. But as a westerner I notice that children here aspire to adult responsibility earlier than at home. However as in most of the world football (soccer), played in boots, trainers and often in bare feet on stony ground!, is probably the most visible activity of boys, girls don't usually "play out" and are busy with Barbie etc.
