Ep 25: Games Without Batteries: Children’s Games from Every Continent

Today, we’re travelling the globe through childhood play. One game from every continent, each telling a story about culture, creativity, and community. What’s fascinating is how many of these games require almost nothing: stones, chalk, string, sticks, or simply space to move. And yet, they’ve entertained generations.

Different challenges. But the same mindset: They didn’t wait for perfect conditions. They built with what they had.
