traditional games
This is a traditional game for children at a 'medieval' fair. Does anyone know what it is? 'Corrida' may possibly not be 'race' in this context, it occurs to me.
If you know what it is but don't know the English name, a description would be just as helpful.

log race
corrida com barrotes was part of the training to become a squire, so maybe log race would fit.

relay race
I am not sure; however, since "barrote" is a "bar" or in the shape of a stick, and "corrida" is a race, it is common to have relay races in which one runner hands the stick off to another to continue running around the track, or, maybe in this case, around the medieval castle.
