Christmas may have reindeer games, but New Year's day has its games too. At least it does at Akany Avoko. After a special "European style" breakfast prepared by the volunteers and a nice lunch prepared by the children and the staff, the kids had a lovely afternoon to relax and play games.
Check out some of their choices for the first games of the year.

Using New Year's candy to play fanorona, a kind of African-born chess. |
Kisatady is always a favorite. It is the Malagasy version of jump rope. The rope stands still and the person jumps over it. |
More kisatady. |
Still more kisatady. Sorry, it is picturesque. |
Put two nails in the ground and instant marble game or kanety. |

Storytelling, puppetry and geology all in one great game. Tantara uses stones as family members that act out everything from eating to arguing. |
Who can swing the highest? Always fun. |
