What games are played in Ghana

Ampé -

Materials: fast-paced music playing (can be played only to clapping)

Object: to be highest scoring team

Directions: Select one "leader". While the players close their eyes, the leader hides objects all around the playing area
(this may be best played outdoors or in a gym with good hiding spots). The players gather at a starting/finish line. The
leader then yells "Pilolo" and the players run to find a hidden object and get back to the finish line first. The person
who crosses the line first wins. Another variation: divide the players into two teams. The team whose players all cross
the finish line first wins. The game is played several times.

Pilolo -

Materials: small balls, sticks, or pinnies

Object: to find the hidden objects and get back to the finish line as quickly as possible

Directions: Students divide into two teams. One player from each team stands opposite one another. One player is
Ohyiwa and the other is Oware. Players begin jumping and clapping with the music. As they land, each manipulates
one leg forward, with knee locked. Ohyiwa wins a point if the left leg meets the other player's right leg or vice versa.
Oware wins if the left leg meets the other player's left leg, or if their right legs meet. The team that reaches 10 points
first wins. A set of games can be played and the team with the highest number of wins wins the day.
