Ampe is a traditional Ghanaian game mostly played by girls, involving jumping, clapping, and quick foot movements.

The game is played between two or more people, with one player leading while the other follows. The goal is to predict the opponent’s foot movement, and the winner continues to lead. The game demands great agility, rhythm, and quick thinking to emerge victorious.

Though it originated in Ghana, ampe has gained popularity in other African countries. In Benin, it is called Bountou and has been structured into an organised sport. Over the years, there have been efforts to push for ampe to gain more recognition beyond Ghana.
