Welcome to my 2019 Blogging A-Z Challenge. Each day in the the month of April (except Sundays), I will bring you a memory of games and a jump rope song. It is similar to the classic A My Name Is… Do you recognize the chant? A world of children will greet their friends and skip through the alphabet alliterating their name, a friend’s name, and their home city. They will also state their country, the language they speak, and their favorite game. Descriptions of the games are included. I chose games that are played on playgrounds or streets where children negotiate their teams and terms. You may recognize your favorite games that differ only in name. As the alphabet progresses, it becomes apparent that the pursuit of laughter and fun are universal.
Bon Zanmi!
C my name is Chedeline
I live in Cap-Haitian, Haiti
My friend’s name is Claude
We like to play Lago! Lago!
We speak Haitian Creole
And now we’ll say “Orevwa!”
Lago! Lago!
In this variation of tag, the “IT” player is a wolf and the others are the chickens. The wolf tries to catch the chickens. Once they are caught, they are either out or become wolves and try to catch the other chickens.
