Indigenous games
Indigenous games are recreational
activities that originated from a
particular community or people. (eta
college,2018)
Indigenous games hold potential to
be utilized and to meaningfully
contribute to the physical, cognitive,
social and cultural needs of learners.
(Charl J.Roux,2009)

TYPES OF
INDIGENOUS
GAMES
DIBEKE
At the start of the game, the attackers stand next to
each other in a single in the attackers box. The
defenders' position themselves in the defenders
area (on the center half of the pitch opposite the
attackers half of the pitch) and the roller takes up
position in the rollerssemi-circle in the middle of the
pitch as the defenders try to retrieve the ball from
the opposition as soon as possible.
(South African indigenous games, 2015)
DIKETO
Diketo is a two or more player game known as
Uphuca (meaning to grab) in the IsiXhosa
language. This is a popular game in Southern
African countries. Different communities execute
this game differently, in South Africa Diketo is
usually played in a circle drawn on the flower,
while in Lesotho and Mozambique the game is
usually played from a shallow hole dug on the
ground, both versions require marbles.

MORABARABA/MILLS
It is a traditional two-player strategy board
game played in South Africa and Botswana.
The game is known by many names in many
languages, including Mlabalaba, Mmela,
Muravava, and Umlabalaba. The game was
not originally for children, it was used to share
cattle, herding strategies and formulate war
strategies.

DI TIN
Three tins are placed on top of each other. 
The first player has three attempts to knock the
tins down.  The player throws the ball from
outside the marked playing area.  If successful
the player runs out, re-builds the tins, draws a
square around the tins and hops over the tins
three times.(South African indigenous games,
2015)

Why
indigenous
Games?
Cont.
(F, 2023)
Indigenous games are very important to our community or
culture, they are vital parts of a peoples heritage and culture,
preserving age-old traditions and stories of the group. They
allow participants to understand the social construct and history
of the inventors and players of these games.(eta college,2018)
WWW.PNGWing
Why indigenous
games?
They act as bridges that connect children to
their history and cultural roots,
fostering a sense of identity and belonging.(eta college,
2018)
www.masters in-education.com
To conclude
Playing indigenous games not only improves physical development and brain stimulation.
They get to experience and let their imagination wonder. Children also learn social skills because
most of these games are players in a group. They also get to learn
and understand rules.
