(and the number of stones you pick from the floor increases as you level).. i think it's called "aba"<br /><br />and you forgot that hand game that is also played mostly by girls and u sing "Robert, *clap clap clap* Rooobert *clap clap clap** Robert Mansa goalkeeper number one, aka nansa na woko aburokyire, kwasia be ti ho onpe ni ho asem, wa ko fa pentoa ode awo nenfi, ....." lol it's a long song.. but hopefully u'll remember that hand clapping game.<br /><br />and yea i remember counters lol.. i miss that game since in the U.S.A sodas aren't in glass bottles so counters aren't available lol.. ahhh counters.. good times, good times..<br /><br />and those skipping rope games were really fun.. and awesome exercise.Giftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037748182955413658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7564356874518161776.post-81370740195492603692010-02-05T13:58:26.458+00:002010-02-05T13:58:26.458+00:00Ya, Ny.

Lol.<br /><br />@ Anon#1: Stay! Stuck in the Mud! Yeah. But, I have never heard of Kpetinge.<br /><br />@ Kwame Mensa-Bonsu: Your finger-football would be what we called "Counters Ball".<br /><br />@ Kissi: Lol. Yes, when the tin hit somebody, in Chaskele, it was such a thrill. You liked being Daddy, huh?<br /><br />@Raine: Hopscotch, huh? I thought it was called "Tomanto" but my office mates swear by "Tuu Ma Tuu". Alikoto should have received an honourable mention in my post.<br /><br />@ Anon#2: About the variation to Mummy & Daddy, could you be talking about Sokoi-Sokoi?<br /><br />@lucci: "Ride Over" and "Aashi N'Agbo" are new to me. Wait, I think "Aashi N'Agbo" could be the same as what we called "Aponkye (Goat) Brake".<br /><br />@ Anon#3: Mummy & Daddy at 13 plus? Na bad boys be dat!<br /><br />@ CerebrallyBusy: I do not know any of the games to mention, sadly. Incomplete childhood? "Tinko-Tinko" sounds slightly naughty. Can you tell us about your games?<br /><br />@ Lady Jaye: Kids now play PS2 and Wie, etc etc. I should not have forgotten all the lovely skipping games.<br /><br />@ Myne Whitman: I think "Tag" would be the same as our "It's Unto You!" Lol!<br /><br />@ Posekyere: My pleasure. Maybe we should write a book about Extinct African Childhood Games, "Mummy & Daddy" excepted, of course!The Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618359074984443470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7564356874518161776.post-24579730450458767692010-02-05T09:33:04.000+00:002010-02-05T09:33:04.000+00:00Childhood, games, friendships,... where have all t...Childhood, games, friendships,... where have all these gone?

Outrageous! It was my favourite by far!!! I often played the Daddy part, for obvious reasons - which boy wouldn't have, especially where the Mummy part was starring the area belle?<br />A very distant second was Chaskele - man, you are so right about the opportunity to be cruel. I remember once, when the battered tin flew past straight into a waiting forehead of a taller boy. It missed me cos I was shorter.kissinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7564356874518161776.post-88698934728917890782010-02-04T16:07:44.156+00:002010-02-04T16:07:44.156+00:00Playing with football (pebbles), with my fingers, ...Playing with football (pebbles), with my fingers, on my knees, on the carpet, on my own, with my own league....weird!
