Before kids these days are tagged GEN Z you think say na play play?

Check them out on TikTok showing breasts for likes and flowers.
The Gen z name has nothing to do with the peculiarity of the kids in terms of behavioural patterns... it is just an age bracket thingy. Before the Gen Zs, we had the millenians, after the Gen Zs we have the Gen aphas...

Most Gen Zs are aware of these street games. I believe it is the Gen Aphas whom are not too exposed to these games based on changes in upbringing.

Children still do tinko tinko tikonko tinko. For the after round one, original panadol extra, it's better these generation of children don't do it o. Their parents will interfere when their kids are returning home with hot red hands battered with supersonic slaps. I wonder why our parents didn't interfere back in those days, even though they are aware of the devil-manufactured gargantuan slaps we get to the back of our hands then. grin

The throwing of rubber band, I am thinking of making it a global sport, because it helps people learn how to throw things to targets. I dream of making it an international competition. I really miss it.
I saw I children do it one day I was shock this some game still exist

Never saw it. The most popular game then was rubber band for us with slippers. It was pure gambling. 😂😂😂 5 naira for 25 bands. Then you start betting 1 or more a time.

Phone and video games have taken over. Again, some kids are now sexually active at very young age when they should still be playing suwe thinking about their boy friends or girl friends.
