It is so fun to watch Cambodian children play, especially when they can put their adult responsibilities
aside and have a good time. They tease and laugh and work through arguments the way I have seen so many other children do. They play until they roll on the ground laughing or s
it there panting trying to catch their breath. They don’t have very many “toys” here so the children have learned to be resourceful. They play a lot of games that don’t involve any special equipment or training. The games that need equipment usually require a shoe, a rock,
or a single ball. Today, I played with some kids by a lake in Siem Riep as they jumped a rope made out of vines tied together into a long string. Simplicity and creativity are the keys to the games that these kids have mastered, and they will always welcome you into the fun…if you can keep up with them!
