The Education Minister of Fiji recently issued a rather strange word of warning regarding students playing a Ouija-like divination game known as 'Charlie Charlie.' According to a local media report, the odd proclamation came about last week following an incident wherein ten children from the Veiuto Primary School were sent home after they were caught partaking in the practice, which involves using a pair of balanced pencils to purportedly summon spirits and communicate with them. While some might see the divination game as a bit of lighthearted fun, particularly around this time of year, 'Charlie Charlie' has actually been banned in Fijian schools and so officials in the country took the matter very seriously.
