Care to give the ‘Children’s leisure activities in Sudan, an LIC’ case study for E.1
When rural children are collecting water, running errands to the shop, weeding plots and/or herding sheep and goats, they introduce elements of play into their activities.
For example, when boys are out herding, games such as Shelduck (play fighting where participants have to hop with one leg behind them) are played. By combining games with overseeing the herds, boys can make the work more enjoyable and feel like time passes by quickly.
Children use scrap metal to make dolls, tractors, houses and models of local shops. They then use these to act out domestic life and agricultural cycles. An awareness of how trade and wage labour operate is exemplified in their acting out of paying for crops using money made out of broken china.
