(iii) Events of indigenous games of India We quite often lament when we see our kids glued to the TV or phone. Especially during the pandemic when taking them outdoors seems highly impossible. And thus, as we watch a generation of children find entertainment in gadgets and technology, we cannot help wondering and remembering the games of yesteryears. Those were the traditional games that took up a large stock of our time after school. They kept us on our feet, quite literally, running around on quiet streets or terraces. They helped us learn about teamwork and deep friendships. And of course, about a childhood that has shaped our lives forever. Students were made familiar with the indigenous games during the games hour. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12xeFkEldKtEFJisyEk3iLuA-htNOMDuZ?usp=sharing (i)Lagori A common street game one might often have seen children trying to topple off a stack of stones. One player from the team gets three chances to knock off the pile of seven stones with a ball. The entire team then tries to restore the stack before being out. Played with two teams ,it’s a great game that requires minimal props. This game is known by different names, including pithoo, satoliya, and more. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JMtWkPmyvpBHy1KlO8PkZCTXW9G5rJxE/view?usp=sharing (ii)Gilli Danda/Lippa Gilli Danda is an older version of modern-day baseball and cricket. Its fame once matched that of cricket in India. All it requires is two unevenly sized sticks. The smaller stick is called the Gilli and the longer one which is used to strike the Gilli is called the Danda. The objective is to flip the Gilli into the air with the Danda. While the Gilli is in the air, the player must hit it with the Danda as far as possible. The player also needs to run to touch a pre-decided point before the opponent can lay his hands on . https://drive.google.com/file/d/1O9l7dnIMx6GMIPHTjxam0zBpFTnmPhmp/view?usp=sharing (iii) Dog and the Bone Dog and the Bone is a kids’ game that has two teams of 5 or more players each. An object like a handkerchief or stick is designated as the ‘bone’. A member of each team steps forward to encircle the bone placed in the middle of the playground.
