Some Games/hobbies My Mom Did In Laos

This post is a list of games that my mom played when she lived in Laos when she was younger. She said her family didn't have a lot of money so she would find anything lying around and try to turn it into a toy. That happened a lot she said because a lot of families didn't have enough money to buy toys, only for food and clothes they needed. She said she would find a lot of things that were thrown out by other people. As some people say, someones trash is another persons treasure. So this is what she said she did as hobbies and games:

• she said she tied rubber bands together to make skipping ropes to play with


• she dug under the dirt to find clay and make things out of it (she said she would make a toy camera sometimes)


• a game that is well known here was also played in Laos too, the game is tag, my mom said she played tag a lot with other children


• she would also play checkers sometimes too, of coarse she had to make it herself out of bottle caps and paper


• she would also play some games with sticks and twigs she found

Now, these games are somewhat similar to the games we play but at the same time somewhat different. We can buy our toys and games but like I've said before, they don't have a lot of money so they were into making things. I'm sure that other games were played too but that's all I know from what my mom told me. Some of the games that were played were probably made up. That would require a lot of creativity, see if you can be creative too and make up your own games!
