Boju Boju
Also known as Boju-Boju
A Yoruba moonlit hide-and-seek played to a call-and-response song that signals when the seeker starts hunting.
How to play
One child is the seeker (Oloro).
The Oloro closes their eyes and starts a call-and-response song; all other players join in from their starting positions and scatter to hide while the song continues.
When the song finishes, the Oloro shouts 'Boju Boju!' and begins searching.
Any player the Oloro finds and touches before they reach the agreed home base is the new Oloro.
If all hiders reach home base safely, the Oloro must repeat the role in the next round.
Best played in low light or moonlight, the cover of darkness is part of the game.
Keep it fair
Agree on one clearly visible home-base object before starting (a wall, a tree) so there is no argument about whether someone made it home.
