disclaimer: wear your thinking shorts on ;)
when was the last time you invented a game..? oops or atleast played a game? there was a time when i played non stop from 4pm to 8-9 pm every evening and most of the games where tailored to our fancies. It was like... wearing a chaddi gave u a licence to create and alter the rules.
so, long long ago.. when i used to wear shorts day in and day out... there were a few games that i indulged in and let me try and remember some of those games and their rules.. wait a minute .. what rules? :)
game1: Chor police
The 'police' never catch the 'chor' and the game always ends with one of the parents looking for their kid and finding him before the police does. Moral: u can never fool mom.
game2: 'i spy' or hide'n'seek commonly called ispice,eyespyce or whatever..
fastest way to count to 100.. learn from the guy who has to find everyone.people hide in the lamest of places.. seriously what was i thinking while hiding in a ........ :D
game3: Four poles/corners
Running from one corner/pole to another and exchanging places with the person at the other end before the 'denner' can catch you.it had an added flexibility of adding or removing a pole/corner based on no. of ppl :D
game4: Lingochha... scientific name: 7 stones
The first 30 mins of the game are lost in finding 7 good stones.Once the game starts, half of the time is lost in arranging the stones... now what was the actual aim of the game?? i enjoyed shouting "lingochha" anyways :)
game5: chain cut,cake cut... cut cut cut
Mad sprints in the arena.. and you would always want to catch a girl so that she can run along with you. worst part of the game is that sometimes 3 guys might have to hold hands together to catch another guy.! :O :D
game6: headtouch/legtouch
Not many people might have played these ones... i cant recollect them either.. lets call it quits.
game7: maarampeeti..
The most brutal game (comes close to kabaddi) of hitting people hard with a ball and its very dangerous.. cos when ball meets ball... (what were u thinking?? i meant eye ball..) u have to face the ire of the victims' parents. :P
can't recollect some of the other games.. and some other customised versions of the basic games. now if u ppl can recollect more of these.. do let me know :) and mind u, all of them should be games.. and not sports like cricket or baddy..
may be next time i can focus on rustic games like gilli danda and goli.. ;)
ps: games like "kitchen kitchen","mummy daddy","name place animal thing" etc will not be counted.send ur entries now. :)
cheers,
anup.

game 8: help plus chain.!!
u are supposed to have even number of ppls in this game. one wld be the chaser.. the chaser has to go behind someone who is not as a pair with someone else.. n u guys were alwaz on a hunt to go catch a girls hand to be in a pair....:P :P
game 9: Tree Tree!!
there were three trees (sand heaps around) in front of a friends house....all of us got onto the tree branches....the denner has to hit us with a ball...whoever is hit has to drop dead on to the sand heap....heres the funny part....the third person to drop dead (talk abt rules!!!) is the next denner...haha
-KK
You draw a box with 4 equal squares in it, each square having a person or two. The Denner should walk on the borders of the square and keep an eye on the 4 stones placed in the centre of the box. The people inside the square should take the stones and gather in any one of the squares.....
.... A regular game which we used to play :-) :-)

1: One was called PHANDA PHUNDI....
On a pile of sand, there was a chaser who was to be tripped by the others using a rope.......I dont remember any of the other rules but we enjoyed rolling on the sand :D
2: The second was GOBAR BADI......There was a chaser and a group of people with sticks or branches of trees who were supposed to escape fom him......When "HE" came near you, the only way u could avoid being the next "IT" was by placing your stick on cow-dung, dog-shit, spit or anthing equally repulsive on the road itself.....If the chaser touches u without ur stick on such an object, u become the next chaser........i dont think anything can beat this game :P
