Kalulu44:
If you witness or participated in any of these childhood Plays I am about to list out then I have to tell you Good evening and happy Sunday Sir/Ma, how is the children and if possible grandchildren?
To have witness or participated in them means you must be in your late 30s, 40s, 50s and above.
Without wasting much time, let me dig into the plays.
.
1. Boju Boju. (Hide and Seek)
This play is derived from Yoruba meaning covering your eyes.
This play is started by covering one person's eyes and they sang the "Boju Boju" song while other kids scampered and runs to hide.
The person's eyes is eventually opened and is mandated to start looking for others at their hiding place, anyone he or she caught, he screamed for others to know he has caught someone, that person caught will replace him and the circle continues.
One of the favorite plays of kids back then.
.
2. Ten Ten (10/10).
This play is played by two people who faced each other, and starts clapping singing ten ten. One person starts the singing and clapping, at the end of the singing that person swings out his or her right leg or left leg, the other person too swings out his or her own. If the other person's swing legs correspond with the initiator's own then he has won and will take over from the initiator and 1 point will be counted for him or her.
But if he fails, then 1 point will be counted for the initiator. It goes on and on till they're tired or one of them whose scores is low get replaced by another person.
Another favorite play especially among girls.
.
3. Suwe.
I don't know which tribe originated it but, it still sound Yoruba to me. Growing up in Lagos and a Yoruba land, I guess it belongs to them.
This play is played by drawing a huge line of up to 10 metres and then ruling them into boxes of to 10 or more.
It's played by 2 or more people. For a start, you throw a seed or visible object into a box, you picked up the object, and then hop over that box with one leg. You continue hopping with one leg on all the boxes till the end. If you get to the end without falling, matching any of the lines, then you have won yourself a box as a house, which you then inscribe your name or signature. No other person can throw object or step on that house, if they do they have failed and the circle continues until all the boxes are owned. Who owned the majority boxes/house is declared the winner. This play is also played in multiple ways too.
.
4. Kite Flying.
Majority of us and including genz knows this play, no need to elaborate on it.
.
5. Who Sabi Swim Water.
I doubt if many people across the country knows this play.
It's played by 5 or more people standing beside each other at a straight line, and another same amount of people standing opposite them, then they stretched out their hands and hold each other tightly.
One person will go back and jumped into the waiting hands while everyone sang "who sabi swim water" the person jumping into the waiting hands will respond "I sabi swim water" and others chorus "show me how to swim water" he then jumps into the hands and start mimicking swimming.
.
6. Koso.
Another play I don't know which tribe invented it, but it sounds Igbo to me.
It's played by using the cover of a pen/biro and the cover of those big radio batteries.
The cover of the battery is put untop the pen cover making it look like an umbrella.
You hold the bottom of the pen and twist it with your fingers, it starts rolling on the ground. While rolling, you systematically clips it to see if it will over turn and the head which is the battery cover will sit perfectly.
If it does, you have scored yourself a point.
.
7. My Name Sweet O!
My best of them all. This is the play I enjoyed most among all my childhood Plays.
This is played by 2 groups of 5 or more people sitting 10 metres away from each other. Each member of a group is giving a funny name by the group leader that's unknown to the other group.
Group A leader will go over to group B, cover one of it's members eyes with his two hands tightly and then call out a name from his group, who then walks to where his leader is, pinched the person whose eyes is covered on his forehead and then go back to his group and sit with others.
The person whose eyes was covered when opened will now walk to the other group to guess and identify who pinched him.
While this is going on, everybody will be singing "My name sweet o, my name sweet o sweet o, my name sweet o"
If the person guess right, he wins his group one man who will be added to his own group.
If he fails, he's added to the other group. It goes on till one group wins majority of the other group members and is declared the winner.
I so much love this play that I can't wait for night fall to organize and play it back then.
.
I will like to stop here, they're many others like Table/Paper Soccer, Building castle with sand using your legs, Rubber band play, Using thread to form things with your hands, Five Ten Fifteen to make me rich, e.t.c.
And others I can't rmbr or don't know and will like to hear from those who played it back then.
Most of if not all these childhood Plays has gone into extinction now. Our genz didn't play them and it isn't their fault, technology changed everything. But honestly, those were childhood memories and plays I don't think I will ever forget.
Note I didn't mention Whot, Ludo, Ayo, Table Tennis e.t.c. we played them too back in the days and they're still in existence till date.
Let me hear from the older generation who witness and participated in these plays, so I can know who I can be calling Sir or Ma, hahahaha.
