hqdefaultOne thing people always talk about when reflecting on growing up in Guyana is how much fun they had as kids. Back in the day before mobile phones and Ipads our toys were the outside and our imagination, so needless to say that translated into endless hours of fun in the Guyanese sun.

Here are a list of 12 Games we played during our “Small Days” In Guyana

  1.  Sal out: Kinda like the game Simon Says
  2.  One two Three Red light: Similar to Simon Says.
  3. Chinee jump rope
  4. Gam: Like the game Marbles, but played with the seeds from the awara fruit
  5. Ketcha/Catcha: Like the game catch
  6. Hop Scotch
  7. Slate: Similar to marbles but played with Slate
  8. Bun House
  9. War break
  10. Bruk Neck
  11. Dog and the bone
  12. There’s A Coloured Girl in the Ring
  13. Cricket in the road
