There was another one called omo..., 3 concentric circles, middle one stands the moderator, one the highest score which is 100,then the outer circle has the name the players choose, normally a letter word or an abbreviation eg. OMO, BBC, CNN, LTD, GBC ecc... When a players logo is mentioned he runs to the centre circle and says stop in the meantime the others run as far as they could from the outer circle. Then the one in the circle looks and chooses the player who is closest and make 3 skips/jumps and tries to touch the fellow if s/he succeeds then the points are subtracted from him and he becomes the new moderator. Hope my memory serves me right. Shalom

The good old days are gone, so also are the games and the toys we played. What games do your children play at home? I bet they are into video games, whose children do you want to be stuck with the traditional game? Remember nothing last forever so accept change on move on or get stuck in the old days.

That's the mindset of some. The children of this generation stay indoors, play video games, or watch stupid videos on YouTube, Tiktok, etc.

The next thing you know, they have grabbed a gun to imitate what they saw.

When we went to school, we were whipped for misbehaving, for not doing our home work, for not underperforming on an exam/quiz, etc. Today, we have gone the ways of the West. The devastation is there for all to see.

Of course everything has its pros and cons, but I would take the former (older?) ways of doing things than this generation's. No question about that.

What a nostalgic memory. Great job! Morden Kids have missed a lot. Reintroduction of these games will help shape their lives.

The good old games are still around. It's still been practised in our villages just that it's not seen in the urban areas.
