Hide & Seek:

Also known as “Luka Chupi” or “Chupan Chupai”.  The concept is, everyone hides, and one poor unlucky person has to search everyone. I mean, don’t you just love it when it’s your turn to seek everyone, and they just leave home while you’re still hoping to find them?

Lock & Key:

A fun rainy day game for the kids. Basically, one person is supposed to tag everyone and scream “Lock”. Once tagged, you cannot move, unless someone else tags you screaming “Key”. But make sure you scream “Lock” & “Key” at their respective tags, because apparently, it matters a LOT!

Land & Water:

A great game based on mocking the one person supposed to catch you. Depending on where you play this, a particular area will be called “land”, rest of the area will be called “water”. The catcher will choose his territory (Land or Water) and will catch anyone who enters it. What do the rest of you do? Enter his territory to mock him, get out before you’re caught!

Human Chain (Saakhli):

This game is really good if you want to learn the importance of teamwork. Here, the catcher tags one person at a time. Once tagged, you are supposed to hold hands with the catcher and help him catch the others. Same concept carried forward till the time a human chain of kids tags the last one standing.

Lagorie :

A fun game to play with a ball! Gather 7 stones of different size. Pile them up according to the size. Well what next? Break the pile of stones with the ball. All the others are supposed to hit you with the ball (standing exactly form where they picked up the ball) while you dodge the ball, gather the stones, pile them up again. Best part, even if you pile up the stones again, nobody will stop aiming the ball at you unless you circle your leg 3 times over the pile and scream “Lagorie!!!”
