I did all the aforementioned games. The one I loved most was suwe played with rim of umbrella and feather of bird on a pen.

There was also this game played by two participants in which both would arrange "milk tins " in pyramid form and each participant is expected to fall the tins of his opponents. Whoever finished first won the game.

12 Most Memorable Childhood Games In The 80's

1. Who is in the garden ?
This is one of the first game that would ever come to a child's heart back in the 80's, especially during the holidays, its a game which requires the children or should i say participants to form a circle by spreading out and holding hands, with a child in the middle of the created circle and another child outside the circle; who is to ask the question, which the game is all about, and it goes thus.

Child outside the circle: Who is in the garden ?
Participants: A little fine Boy/girl !
Child outside the circle: Can i come and/to see her ?
Participants: No! No!! No! No !!

After which the child outside the circle would have to choose who ever he/she likes among the participant to follow him/her by saying ''abeg my sister/brother to follow me'', now they are different rules to the game, its either the child outside the cirlcle would try breaking the cirlce and enter to see who is in the garden or the child in the center of the circle would try to break free from the circle and the other children participating in the game would run after to catch him/her.

6. After Round 1 (scissors).

Now this is a funny one, you don't dare it if you don't have the stomach for it, its a game very similar to the intenationally know sciccors, a group of players are expected to pick a number and then each will signify a number with the fingers of one hand and all fingers would be counted to arrive at a number if the number actualised was choosed by any of the players then that player wins, e.g lets say there are five players and each choose from number 1-5 respectively, and then all droped a finger each, the player that choosed 5 wins, this continues until the last player is left without an opponent, which means he/she is the looser, the other players then procced to beating or hitting the back of the loosers palm until the looser could weave all their hands from hitting him/her.

The starting song goes thus: After round one, original panadol extra won tun gbe de.
Number 5 was a perfect no for more than 2 peepz chai my cousin beat shege i cry tire
