Walking within the village is confined almost exclusively to the road and the paths between houses. To take a stroll, villagers traverse the length of the road several times. During the long hours of winter darkness and on rainy days, indoor play activities are important. Toys do not last long but there are toys or parts of toys in every house.
Playpens have rattles and plastic toys.
The children play card games like old maid and donkey. Older teenagers are good at cribbage, and also a favorite game among adult fishermen. One boy had a set of Monopoly. Checkers are dominoes are played as long as new sets remain intact. Radio listening is as popular among the older children as among adults, and several teen-agers collect records of popular hit tunes.
