In African culture, storytelling and moonlight games are all vital parts of people’s way of life, especially the Igbo people. Storytelling and moonlight games go a long way in upholding ethical communal behaviour and passing down social education at various crucial moments, serving as mediums for transmitting values, history, and communal bonding. However, such practices are increasingly at risk of disappearing with modern technology and urbanisation. This research seeks to explore the probable extinction of the act of storytelling and moonlight games among the Igbo people. Through qualitative research methods, including interviews and participant observations, this paper investigates the current state of these cultural practices and their significance in contemporary Igbo society. The findings reveal a marked decline in the prevalence of storytelling and moonlight games, particularly among younger generations. The paper concludes that for these cultural practices to be preserved there is a need for initiatives and policy interventions to ensure their survival and the continued relevance of storytelling in Igbo society.
