If you know swimming then many water games are played which are very interesting.

Devyani you remembered me my childhood. Yes we miss now those games. Now a days kids also have no time for outdoor games due to pressure of study and also cricket.

Gilli Danda is definitely an interesting game which the children nowadays don't play. I still remember my parents cautioning us to be careful as it might hurt the eye. By the way, are you referring to ' hide and seek games' by 'find the person ' game??? Here in our place that game is still very popular among children

Hide and seek and eyes spies were both very popular games played both me and later by my children.I think it is the most loved of all games especially when you had a lot of space around the house where you can hide ...I still enjoy watching it when the children in my neighborhood play it...

Yes Hide and seek was also another attraction and guli( marble-Small round piece of glass) -it was also .We stored in a box and daily counted those and felt happy.

My favorite outdoor game is coco, may no one know about it over here. Its wonderful game

Children(boys) used to play a game called kuttiyum kolum, particularly at Onam season......
It's somewhat similar to Cricket......
A lengthy stick called kol and a small stick called kol........but it's very dangerous too.......kids may lose their eyes, if not played carefully.


Another game I remember, I used to play

A circle will be drawn and player stand inside the circle, not facing other players, with a small stick of about 6-7 cm. Others will stand to catch that stick when thrown.
If it's caught, he will be out. Otherwise, she has to reach the stick with 5 jumps and kick it inside the circle, like a football, exactly 5 (what's it called in English........jumping using one leg)

Though there is not much space around our house but my nieces and nephews always manage to find space to hide such as behind barrel, wall, sometimes even behind an adult :) :) I also enjoy watching them.

When I read the heading of the thread kho-kho was the game that came to my mind. We used to play it a lot in our school days.

Even i used to play Kho-Kho a lot in childhood but not now days I see kids playing it. There were many games like Pakdan pakdai,hide and seek which we used to play which these days kids don't. :)

I remember a childhood game known by different names in different regions. The children sit in a circle facing inward. A child moves around the circle with a tightened handkerchief used for beating. He utters some words while moving and stealthily throws the handkerchief behind a child. If that child detects that a handkerchief is placed behind him, he will move around and repeat the same. But if he cannot detect, the boy who placed the handkerchief will begin beating him. with the handkerchief. This game goes on. I have forgotten name of game and exact procedure.

I remember the game though not the name exactly. Once the person realizes that the handkerchief has been dropped behind him , he picks it up and runs behind the person who dropped it. The first person who dropped the handkerchief has to take the vacant seat before being caught up.

we used to sing the song...."Bombay rosakka, kola kola mundiringa" :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: with a bunch of leaves in hand.

Ek ajnabi haseena se...dropping kerchief is shown in that song

"Kilithattukali" a play where a big square is drawn. Then divide into 4 equal squares. One person has to play while others stay in the columns. 4 stones are placed in the centre and it's needed for the central player to keep it away from other players. If he touch anyone of those people, he can get inside the column and the other person can continue the game again
