We never really needed much to play with; socks stuffed into one another to form a ball; a water hose was a perfect skipping rope; a couple of bricks or pair of shoes marked goalposts; and scraps of fabric found around the home were enough to craft dolls like "banat um luab." Playing wasn’t just for children, either. Games like "Dafory," the name of street football in Sudan, brought everyone together, often culminating in neighbourhood tournaments.
