The rules of the games are different which make them unique, for the ones I choose. Their rules are.

  • Tug of war: Anyone that crosses the line wins
  • Wheelbarrow game: if any one can get to the gate like a wheelbarrow he takes the drink kept by the gate side.
  • Clapping game: If anyone fails the clapping rhythm she is out for replacement.
  • Ayo. If your houses(the holes are classified as house)are taken you are out.

These children are very smart and intelligent, infact I have forgotten some of the rules of the game, I was being caught up by them. In some ways I influenced the rules so that they will not laugh at me. They discovered my tricks and was shouting mummy is cheating hahahaha how can these children win me on this game I'm born with.

This game is very simple and the things needed are just chairs. We didn't go far to source for items to use we made use of things around us.
The music used is very calm and audible for everyone to understand. This game is still present and I recommend it to anyone.
