Ichirgu-boila

Ichirgu-boila is a traditional game that is played by children in Ethiopia. It involves two teams that take turns trying to hit a small ball with sticks and then running to a certain spot before the other team can tag them.

The game is played on a field or a grassy area with two spots marked on opposite sides. Each team has four players and they use sticks to hit a small ball made of rolled-up cloth. The goal is to hit the ball as far as possible, and then run to the other team's spot before they can tag you.

The game requires a lot of running, coordination, and strategy. The players must work together to hit the ball as far as possible, and then quickly coordinate their running to avoid being tagged. The team that successfully hits the ball the farthest and makes it to the other side without being tagged wins the game.

In Ethiopia, ichirgu-boila is a popular game that has been played for generations, and it is a fun way for children to stay active and learn important social skills like teamwork and communication.
