Which of these games did you play while growing up?

Let's see the real OGs.

Nairalanders who can relate

Obviously all of the above.

You forgot to add the legendary which is the rubber band throwing game

We used to go house to house for tournaments with loads of rubber bands in our hands almost getting to the elbow it was more like a champion belt then lol

I didn't play anyone my childhood was terrible and my life still terrible

These games were mainly for Girls...

Na suicide remain bdat

Boys games are police and thief. All this are girls category.

I remember 🤗 these were what we were playing when we wanted to be gentle and when we were carrying our sisters along

BUT

When it's just me and 'the boys' we play other more interesting games 😏 like . . . Police and thief, Catcher, fly kite, roll tyre, Fire Rubber, Spin Slippas, Shoot Kanta Footbal or Monkey Post etc

The More Mature or adventurous kids played 'Mummy & Daddy' or went to the River to 'Swim'

Most of the games you posted were for girls. However, I witnessed all

Played Suwe and Papangolo.
The present generation of kids don't know what it means to have fun. I was on my phone yesterday and my kids came and surrounded me insisting that they must play a game on my phone. I was using the phone at the time and simply told them to 'come and beat me.'

Before I knew it, my 2 year old daughter had dished me a warm slap and brought out her hand for me to give her the phone, while her brothers were punching my knees. In their mind they actually thought I meant they should beat me before I give them the phone.

During our time if our parents say 'come and beat me' we know what that means. Not the creatures we call children these days.

Don't ever allow the thought of suicide in your life. Be positive and you will overcome

Don't mind op posting only feminine games for us to choose

OP u forgot to add counters( those soft drink covers) used for soccer on the floor

As a child i think i played almost all the games reigning then as a child. Abi is it toys, i had almost all the toys(boys toys though).

This one game we played in boarding house then, throwing slippers to a wall, the person's whose own is futher from everyone's own will collect strokes of the cane on his hand.

Catcher

Fire on the mountain

Choose your country

Police and thief

Cowboy and Indian.

Pilolo

Number game where you run to the centre of the field to take the handkerchief (flag) from your opposing number and carry him to your house (side of your number line)

I chop your house (nail game)

From the list, only suwe for me but I don't think we called it suwe and definitely not my favorite.

I recall table soccer, hand tennis, local cricket etc. Our main thing was monkey post football or "set".
