Tajik girls playing American Footbag
|
Games! A great activity for
spring – Footbag Games was a great chance to get outside and
have fun for Connectivity students. Youth in different
countries around the world play footbag, a game where you
kick a small ball without letting it touch the ground.
Through footbag we can connect with the ancient cultures of
China and with modern-day Americans and Tajikistanis.
Many young people like to play footbag or hacky sack (US),
lyanga or chika (Tajikistan), takraw in Thailand, jegi in Korea,
and temari/kemari in Japan. With almost the same concept
and rules, but with different design, this game to some degree
reflects how every culture is special and by creating and
playing footbags our students dipped into the different
cultures and saw its values.
