Matatena is the Spanish word for jacks (Knucklebones). ¡Sí, jacks! The game of our childhood! 💗 It's a fun, colorful, and native word! It comes from Nahuatl, one of the most important languages of Mexico. It's an ideal name for an institute that will promote dexterity, rhythm, and warmth in teaching 🎲
