Tug of War - My Favourite Childhood Game
Greetings Everybody,
It really nice to be here, as this is actually my first post in this community. To be sincere, I find this contest very interesting and educative, as it reminds me of how fun and happy my childhood days were.
As an African child, I really had so much fun during my childhood days, as I was involved in so many fun-filled games like hide and seek, football in the rain, and many other funny/rough plays. I love all those games but I think Tug of War was my favourite.
This is actually a fun-filled game that requires strength, determination, and team work. It involves two different teams, made up of equal number of players, who would be involved in great pulling and dragging. We would try to balance both teams by dividing the two strongest players to different teams, before selecting other players based on their capabilities.
The two teams would select their team's Captain, and then the other players would go behind their team captains. A line would be drawn between the two teams, and a referee would blow a whistle to declare the commencement of the action.
What made this game so fun and memorable is that; during the struggle, some players would drastically fall to the ground, causing everybody to start laughing uncontrollably.
I grew up in the barracks where our Parents (Soldiers) usually do fun military games like War Scatter, and Tug of War occasionally.

So it's because of these fun games we see regularly, that the idea to play some kind of games came to our minds. We played rough game as kids, and believe me when I say these are one of the best memories of my life.
You are warmly welcomed to the community I believe you will enjoy your stay if you follow the rules.
Your favourite game is such a lovely one. I remember during my National Youth Service day while we were having the opening ceremony women and men was selected to participate in the game and it was all for fun. That day I really laughed. The females won against the males.
The game requires much energy and focus indeed.
Thank you for sharing your favourite game and I wish you all the best in this contest.
You are really correct because without putting strength and focus, your team Will d definitely fail. It usually fun when you participant on this game.
Thanks for your time..

Tug of war. That was the game that decided who would get the remaining bottles of coke after the party was over.
Fun as it was, I still think it was biased to favor people with more strength and stamina.
Lol, so you see, the game equally helps in decision making. In most cases, the two teams would tries to find capable representatives, so the idea of being biased can be avoided.
Thanks for your time..
My dear I did love to go back being a child again just to play this game.
Thanks for reminding me.
You are welcome my good friend, childhood is indeed fun.
Thanks for your time..
wow, what a happy childhood. I remember when I was in elementary school, we often played tug of war during class breaks. I often play this game with my little friends and I always remember it until now.

I remember the acute concentration we used to focus when playing this game, we were willing to do everything within our powers to make sure they lose.
I guess that was where all this unhealthy competition that we see today started, and now people are only happy when they are doing okay and others are not.
We hope for better days.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Lol😅
Everyone wants to win, not minding the condition of the other man. Nevertheless, we pray for better days.
Thanks for your time..
