  3. It reminds me something called as 'Juego de la pajarita' but I'm not sure at all. Or maybe, 'Comecocos' because I've been watching a video in YouTube calling it by this name.

  5. In Spanish, it is called "los cuatro zapateros". I knwe this because when I was a kid I had an origami book. In English, after Google has helped me, "four cups".
