With changing times, the playing habits of the children are changing too. Earlier, every other child of the colony used to gather together for a fun filled time at the park or field daily. However, thanks to the major burden called studies, going out for daily dose of games daily is but only a distant dream. In fact, with Xbox and other digital games coming in, children of this era are simply unaware of going out and playing the traditional games that their fathers and grandfathers have grown up playing. If you too are unaware of those brilliant games, follow this post to know more—

4. Gilli Danda

Two sticks, one striker and oodles of excitement make this game a totally fun filled one. It is much like cricket, if we may say so, albeit a far reached comparison it is. In this game, you have two sticks on varied lengths.

The first, and the longer stick, is known as danda while the much shorter one is known as gilli. What the striker has to do is hold the danda and hit the gilli lying over the ground in such a fashion that it is lifted to a height. Now, before the gilli touches the ground, the striker has to strike the gilli with the danda as far as possible, and before it is collected by the opponent team, he has to run a pre-decided point.
