Mbube! Mbube! Lion! Lion!  Mbube Mbube uses one of the Zulu words for lion.  Pronounced "Mboo-bay Mboo-bay,"  In this game, individuals help a lion, or mbube, locate and capture an impala (a deer- like animal with antlers).  Players begin the game standing in a circle  Two blindfolded players start the game.  One player is the lion and the other one is the impala.  First, both players are spun around. Next, players in the circle begin calling out to the lion, "mbube, mbube!" As the impala gets closer to the lion, the circle players’ chants get quicker and louder. Conversely, if the lion is far away, the circle’s chants decrease and get softer.  If the lion fails to catch the impala in a minute, a new lion is chosen, and if the lion catches the impala, a new impala is chosen.

Ampe  The leader and another player jump up at the same time, clap, and thrust one foot forward when they jump up.  If the leader and the other player have the same foot forward the leader wins a point.  If they are different then the other player becomes "it" and plays against the remaining players.  If the players are in a circle, the leader moves along the inside of the circle, playing against others in turn.  If they are in a line, the leader moves on down the line.  If only two players are playing, they keep score until a certain number of points determines a winner  Instructional Video Instructional Video
