A mat will be used with the set of stairs and runners with a pyrinola so that other girls selected from each course can participate, the mechanics of the game consists of throwing the pyrinola, the number that comes out are the positions that the girl must move on the mat and depending on the box in which the girl is, a question of saving and energy will be asked, whoever reaches the goal first wins.
