It always amazes me to see kids in my area playing the same or very similar games to what kids in my home country of Canada and/or elsewhere in the world play. How do these kinds of things become so global? At any rate, boys in my village enjoy playing a locally adapted version of tetherball. Instead of a ball, they use a bottle with water that has some soap powder in it to make it white (I presume because this is easier to see than clear water).
Here's a little video I shot of two boys playing.

This is pretty amazing! These boys use their feet (bare or shod) and their heads to bat the bottle, which must be fairly solid to withstand all this bashing. Dale
