🎡 CallerTales

Ama and Tam found an old brass cage in their grandmother's attic. Every ball inside is a year — and a place where people play a calling game. Draw a ball to travel.

Getting ready…

Meet the cast — the characters who teach this

Ama Draws the balls and keeps the call book
Tam Reads every call aloud, and gets braver each stop
Rima Ends every call on a rhyme, as lô tô singers do
Riddla Never names a thing — only riddles it, like a cantor
Smorfia Sees a picture in every number, as tombola players do
Hiệu Sings the hint before the card, the way bài chòi is sung
Kelly Gives every number a nickname, like a housie caller
Beano Marks with whatever is to hand — beans, bottle caps, buttons
Cartella Is a tombola card: three rows, five numbers each, every column its own decade
Quina Shouts the moment five in a line are marked, and checks the line twice
