Playing cache-cache

Fati Wallet Idjiranta, age 9, lives in Tintihigrene. She describes a game that she likes to play with her friends:

"If I don’t have any jobs to do, and if I don’t have to look after the little ones, and if I don’t have any homework to do, then I go and play with my friends. We play a game called cache-cache (hide-and-seek). We make a ball out of rags. One person has the ball and then we all run away. The person with the ball throws it and, if it touches someone else, that person becomes ‘it’ and has to take the ball and chase the others in turn."
