I was playing many outdoor games in my school days when there was no mobiles, laptops, satellite channels. On those days very few houses had Television sets (Only Doordarshan). 99% of telephones are there in government offices only. Cricket was not much famous.

We were playing most of the games like kabadi and other games are region and weather specific. We have come put of tradition, culture, festivals, sports which are related with us. Let us try to recollect them and handover to the upcoming generation.

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


Oh you made my mind click the song we used to recite during the game. "Ghoda jamal khayi..peeche dekhe maar khayi"...it was sonething like this. :lol:
I think Kho-kho and Hide and Seek are still familiar outdoor games. In my town still people play Kho-kho. In my town there is a big Railway Colony. People love to play there, as there is wide open space.
Another easy play for your kids.
Place a small leaf in a heap of sand. Each player has to gather around and blow air with your mouth so that leaf is visible. Each kid has to do one by one. For whom, the leaf is visible ...she should run and catch any one.
My favorite outdoor game is coco, may no one know about it over here. Its wonderful game


How is coco played? Is it an individual or team game?


Jabeen it is called Kho Kho and it is a team game played by two teams when one of the team members sit o the ground in opposite directions and one of them is trying to catch the other as the person goes round those who are sitting...

Oh she was referring to kho kho!! I thought coco is something else because of the spellings, Here some schools include kho kho in the school sports events. I think it is an interesting game.
There is one more local game in our town. I don't know it is played in other parts of the out country or not. It is called "SATORIYA" or SATODIYA"
There are seven oval shapes of stones placed on one another. Two teams are there. One team stand on left side those stack of stones and another team stand on the right side of Stack.
One team throws ball to that SATODIYA and they have to run.
Let me give you one image of it.

I don't think guys are playing pambram in Tamilnadu or anywhere else. They play only one outdoor game. Yes it is Cricket.

I was expecting a lot of posts about 'Pambaram' yesterday. But i didn't get so. I got disappointed.
Outdoor games like "Gilli Danda, Pakda pakdi, find the person", etc are very interesting games. i like volley ball. It is played less now a days.
If you know swimming then many water games are played which are very interesting.

Allow me to add 'Chor Police' I was an arden fan becase i was considered as a super cop in catching the 'Chor' in a jiffy wherever he hides.

In hindi its known as 'Latttu'. In Telugu we say 'Bongaram.'
In bengali we also called it latto and yes in childhood I played it. Now can't see this.

Last week I went to Madurai which is my home town. I saw several boys playing pambaram (Latttu in Hindi, Bongaram inTelugu). I enjoyed watching those game for few minutes.
I even played this game when am a kid. But i played it as indoor game.
