I need a traditional children's game - without too many rules - from a South American country. Any ideas?

I am a Brownie leader (1st to 3rd graders). The game must be from a Spanish-speaking country (not Brazil.) It must be easily taught, and not require a lot of equipment. And not soccer! (no futbal!)

A sweet, cookie-type snack recipe would be wonderful, too.
