The child, who migrated from Kafr Zeita in Hama’s countryside at the age of 3, indicated that the most games he and his friends’ played in the camp was local Syrian camps such as al-Kalal, al-Haha, hide and seek, and Tamimet.
The games Mohammad spoke of where played by Syrian children all over Syria, but they were on the verge of disappearing in 2006, but the al-Assad regime’s killing and destruction brought these games back since many Syrian children lost their schools and were deprived their right to play.
