Childhood games

There are different funny and also interesting games we play during our childhood and we have got them in abundance in Nigeria and these games are part of what helped in making our childhood a very fun and interesting one. And we will be listing some of these games right here:


1: Game box
This game is played with 8 players, having a mother and also some followers, of whom are divided into two. Four members in each group would be trying to dodge being touched by the opponent members in the box being drawn on the ground.


2: Ten ten
This game is played with two people, and it is done with the use of the hands and you continue clapping your hands together and at the same time increasing your speed.


3: From the east to the west
This game is done with two or four players if you are up to that number and it is also done with the hands. The four players would be paired into two, and while playing you will be exchanging your hands with the other players.

  3. Ten-clap (a name I just made). A ball is thrown to the ground to bounce against a wall and rebound to the thrower, who must catch it. First there is one clap before the ball is caught, then two, building up to ten claps. The ball must be caught without it dropping to the ground as it rebounds off the wall. In competition, an opponent gets their turn when the ball is not caught cleanly.
    Each turn starts from one clap, building to ten claps, so it can take a while.
    A round two variation is to spin around on the spot in addition to doing the clapping. This makes it fairly hard to get to ten.
