/Sounds like "mah" (as in "mark") + "tah" (as in "tar") + "TEH" (as in "ten") + "nah" (as in "nacho")/
A classic Mexican children's game where you toss a small rubber ball in the air and scoop up small metal pieces (or pebbles) from the ground before catching it again. The Mexican version of jacks, a recess and sidewalk staple that every Mexican generation grew up playing.
“¿Te acuerdas cuando jugábamos matatena en el recreo de la primaria?”
“Do you remember playing matatena at recess in elementary school?”
“Mi abuela jugaba matatena mejor que todos, nadie le ganaba.”
“My grandma played better than anyone, nobody could beat her.”
