Five children are observed on a reddish-brown dirt ground in Ngalula, Democratic Republic of the Congo, engaged with a traditional board game. In the foreground, four children are seated around a wooden Mancala board containing numerous translucent green spherical pieces. One child, seen from the back, wears a dark blue patterned shirt and yellow-orange pants, with orange slip-on shoes on their feet. To their left, another child, wearing a grey t-shirt and light blue flip-flops on the left foot, is seated, observing the game. Opposite them, a child in an orange long-sleeve t-shirt with "TRANSTAR" printed on it and light orange shorts is seated, actively manipulating the game pieces with both hands. A fourth child, in a light pink t-shirt and red-orange shorts, is seated behind the grey-shirted child, looking directly at the camera. A fifth, younger child, wearing a green t-shirt and patterned shorts, stands slightly behind the orange-shirted child, looking down at the game. The ground consists of dry, reddish-brown soil, with some scattered natural debris including dried corn cobs and small pieces of plant matter visible in the lower right. In the background, two structures made of earth-colored material, likely mud-brick or clay, are visible. One structure has a dark, recessed doorway and a white object hanging near it. Further right, a black bucket and a smaller white container rest on the ground near the base of another earth-colored wall. Shadows are present on the ground, indicating outdoor natural lighting.Children play traditional games in rural
