Solidarity Ghana are full of solidarity. That is, most people in Ghana are full of care and love for each other. In the rural areas in Ghana, most farmers practice what we call  "nn)moa" which is, the friends and family help one person to work on one's farm and the other reciprocates it. The external family system in Ghana also helps strengthen solidarity in Ghana. That is apart from the father, mother and siblings, other family relations like Auntie's, grand parents, Uncles and other members of the family all help strengthen solidarity.

Ghanaians are Welcoming From Gold Coast era till now, Ghanaians have being welcoming. It was this welcoming nature that made us even accept the whites in Ghana which later lead them to colonise us.

Other games like story telling which is sometimes done in the night by an elderly person who normally narrates these stories to the young ones. Unlike oral tradition, these games are passed on from generation to generation. Games like around  "ahw3 wakyere" are all indegenoeus games that put Ghana on the map. These games apart from serving our recreational purposes also foster unity and togetherness among people. For example, the story telling game it's only the person who tells the story that sits on a chair, all those doing the listening no matter your status or position sits on the floor to do the listening. This enforces the saying that all are equal in the Ghanaian setting which Ghanaians loves very much. Also i

All kinds of farming are practiced in Ghana, growing of crops, rearing of animals has been the activities of most farmers.
