a. Playing chottakal (playing with 5 stones) b.

Kalla manna (5 or more can be played. each one need to occupy steps of house one of them need to stand on road, he or she need to catch and out when the girls jump from one step of house to another steps of house) d. Chillakku (used to draw box like lines, by closing eyes and walking through the lines asking them rightaa wrongaa. if we touch the lines then OUT - very funny) e. current pass (sitting round joining hands and one need to press the hand and it should pass thru all, the girl outside should find where it has started :-O Many many more games.........very nice to recollect
