We all play many games with our
neighbourhood friends. Every region in our
country has some games that are specific to
that region. In this chapter, we will learn to
play and enjoy some games that are played
in different regions across the country.
While playing these games and enjoying
together, we will learn to treat each other
with kindness and become better human
beings in the process.
Traditional games not only provide
holistic development but connects the
players with their heritage as well.
