African Game 6: The Circle Game

About This Primary Resource

This game is from Rwanda and involves all the children sitting in a circle and one person trying to drop a hanky and then pick it up without anyone noticing. If the children in the circle think they know where the hanky is, and get it right, then they have to chase the other child around the circle.
