The magical thing about Laos are the youngsters running and playing around. We saw many kids laughing, playing games, and running naked down the riverbanks to wave 'hello'. In Laos there are no toys equivalent to those of Europe. The children make their toys themselves. The making of a toy is part of the game and the toy usually disappears when the game is over. The kids are making our holiday in Laos such a light hearted delight ;-)

Photo taken in front of our guesthouse on the streets of Luang Prabang. Children playing their chained rope game. The photo processed in B/W cause I wanted to light more focus on their faces.

Common street games are well-known games, that are played by everybody, boys and girls, children and even adults. They are played in fields, on the streets or at home, and have been known for generations in many cases. In most industrialized countries, many genuine games have already disappeared without trace. That's a pity. It is not only because of their beauty or their historical and cultural interest that these games should be compiled. Close study shows that they prove to be most powerful educational and teaching.
