Lusofonia Games

Alright kiddo, so do you know how sometimes countries come together to play sports and compete with each other, like in the Olympics?

Well, sometimes countries that speak the same language, like Portuguese, also come together to do this. And when they do, they call it the Lusofonia Games.

The word "Lusofonia" comes from the Latin word for Portugal, which is "Lusitania." So basically, it means the games of the Portuguese-speaking world.

What's cool about the Lusofonia Games is that it's not just about sports. It's also about culture and bringing people together. There are events where people can learn about different traditions and customs, try new foods, and listen to music.

So basically, the Lusofonia Games are a way for people who all speak Portuguese to have fun and compete and learn from each other.
