Children all over the world love to play games together! Every country has its own special games that kids enjoy. No matter where we live, playing games is a great way to have fun and make new friends!
In China, many kids play “Catch the Dragon’s Tail.” They stand in a long line and hold onto each other to make a big dragon. The front person tries to catch the person at the very back! In Ghana, children play “Pilolo,” where someone hides small sticks or stones for friends to find. Everyone shouts “Pi-lo-lo!” and races to find the hidden prizes.
