Play
Children all over the world use what they find around them to
invent games, try out new ideas, make their own toys and have fun.
Others have lots of homework. But there's always time for
play.
 Ludovico, the village where Cidinha
lives is hot, dusty and dry. It has one dirt road, lined with
houses made of earth. When Cidinha and her friends play football
or their favourite skipping game elastico, they kick up clouds
of red dust. They cool off by swimming and splashing for hours
in the lake. They don't have toys, but an old bicycle wheel
makes a good hoop! |

 'I make houses in the snow. When I work
from dawn to dusk I can almost finish a house in a day. I smooth
the walls, inside and out. If the snow is damp and sticky I
make little tables, beds and chairs.' Sasha |
 Shakeel draws tracks for his marbles
in the dry, sandy earth. His friends are wearing long cotton
tunics called kurta to keep cool. |

 "I play with my sisters and cousins.
We mark out squares on the ground to play hopscotch and make
toys and people from clay. We leave them to dry in the sun and
then we play with them." Anusibuno |
