Chouka: Halved tamarind seeds or sea shells are thrown on ground and the subjects ( crude broken bangle pieces or stones- as chosen by the player) are moved closer towards the target which is the center of the square drawn. This game will just need two players and a surface to draw the square. Kids are usually found squatting on floor and winning games in a row.
Hopscotch: A tile piece with a flat surface and six boxes drawn in style has been kids’ favorite for a long time now. Patience and self control is the mantra to win this game which is played in a group.
