But when the Chief tries to pick them up, he cannot. • The Chief announces that he will marry the girl who can pick up the bones. • When only Nomi can pick up the bones, she becomes the Chief’s wife.

Activity: Writing • Anansi and Trickster Rabbit attempt to outwit someone, but in the end are usually outsmarted. These stories are often designed to teach listeners a moral, and are entertaining. • Have students identify these elements in the stories. • Have students write their own trickster story.
Dosu: African “Trickster” Game 1. Have a group of children sit in a sandbox. 2. Give one student an object to hide in a pile of sand. 3. Then, the student should form more piles of sand (that do not contain objects). 4. Have other children try to find the object. The person who finds the object hides it again. Discuss games we create out of our environment (hopscotch). What can we infer about the lives of African children from the game Dosu?
