SPORTS:
The most popular sport in Mexico is soccer, called fútbol. Use this Theme Day as an excuse to take that soccer ball out to a local park and play together as a family.
Baseball (béisbel) is almost as popular as soccer. If you have a baseball mitt and ball play some catch with your children. If you have a bat and a large group you can play baseball!
