The Delaware people, also known as the Lenape, are an indigenous people of North America who inhabit what is now the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. They have a rich culture and history, including a number of traditional games. Here are a few examples:
- Wampum: This game is played with small, cylindrical beads made from shells, known as wampum beads. Players take turns stringing the beads onto a cord and compete to create the longest string.
- Bowl game: This game involves rolling a wooden bowl or ball towards a target. Players take turns rolling the bowl or ball and try to get it as close to the target as possible.
- Stick game: This game involves using a stick to knock down a series of small sticks or pegs. Players take turns throwing the stick and try to knock down as many pegs as possible.
- Guessing game: This game is similar to the modern game of charades. One player acts out a word or phrase without speaking, and the other players try to guess what it is.
- Footbag: This game is similar to the modern game of hacky sack. Players use their feet to keep a small, bean-filled leather ball in the air.
