Throughout the screening, Goodall can be seen on one of his best-known missions: the conservation and research in Africa of his beloved chimpanzees (and other primates). In the documentary, which also includes actors such as Angelina Jolie and Pierce Brosnan and other personalities such as Kofi Annan (former Secretary-General of the United Nations), the protagonist tells in first person what her travels and encounters with young people from more than 100 countries around the world to raise awareness about the importance of saving the planet.

TABLE GAMES
From goose to goose ... And I shoot because it's my turn. La Oca is probably, together with Parcheesi, one of the best known (and easy to practice) board games of all time. Designed for two or more players, each one of them has to roll the dice to be able to use a tile on a spiral board with 63 squares. Depending on the square in which you fall, you can go forward (geese, bridges) or go backwards (the maze). The first person to reach the goal wins and has overcome the well and the inn (two turns without playing), prison (three turns) and death (return to the beginning of the board). Although its origins could be in ancient Greece, the first version is believed to have been a board game given by Francis I of Medici of Florence to Philip II of Spain between 1574 and 1587. Since then, multiple interpretations have appeared, in that different drawings or designs were included, depending on the fashions, although the geese have always had the leading role (from 4 years).

The 7 Families is a classic card game for children. It consists of grouping the six members of a family (grandfather, grandmother, father, mother, son and daughter) perfectly identified with their traditional clothing (of Mexican, Chinese, Indian, Arab, Batu, Tyrolean and Eskimo origins). Seven cards are dealt to each player, leaving the rest in a pile in the middle. One begins by asking whoever wants in the group if they have the card they want; if so, you should give it to him and repeat asking for another. If he does not have it, he takes one from the pile and, if the one he asked for does not come out, he must pass the turn. Once an entire family of the same origin has been reunited, he deposits it on the table. The player with the most cards in the pile with the most families wins the game. Two to six people can participate (from 4 years).

From the hand of Margarita and her friends, the children will be able to learn interesting anecdotes from some of the most important paintings exhibited in the Prado Museum without leaving home. The gallery has adapted the audio guide of its children's Itinerary to its website to enjoy the works, either by listening and browsing each of its files, or by watching the commented videos. Children will discover in audios and videos that do not reach two minutes what led Goya to paint Saturn , one of his darkest pieces, who was Dürer, the Self - portrait , or why there were only objects in the Zurbarán Still Life.
