Game On! Township Style
These were our consoles, and the streets were our arena
🪨Diketo

🥫Three-tin
🤸Jump rope
My favorite “toys” were found right outside my door — in the streets,
the dust, and the laughter of childhood friends.
These weren’t store-bought toys, but games made from tins, stones, rope,
and chalk — simple things brought to life by imagination and movement.
These games weren’t just play, they were everything. They taught
us timing, teamwork, balance, and boldness. They filled our days with
rhythm, connection, and joy.
And they weren’t only ours ,even our
parents played them when they were young. Passed down through
generations, these games brought life to the streets and shaped who we
became. This is my tribute to those beloved games — the real toys of my
childhood.
They weren’t just games — they were our memories in motion.
- Diketo: A stone game where players toss one stone into the air while trying to scoop up others before catching the first.
- Jump Rope: A rhythm game where players jump over a swinging rope, often with playful chants or songs.
- Hopscotch: A chalk-drawn game where players hop through numbered boxes, skipping the one their marker lands on.
- Three Tin: A team game where players knock down a stack of three tins and try to rebuild them before being tagged.
